Golden date preserves
Golden jujube has the effect of relieving depression, eliminating food, dissolving phlegm and clearing wine, and is a good food therapy product for people with full abdominal distension, cough and phlegm, polydipsia, and sore throat. Regular consumption of golden dates can also enhance the body's ability to resist colds and prevent and treat colds. In the "Compendium of Materia Medica", it is said that golden jujube has the effect of gastric ventilation, and making it into a candied fruit is to cater to the taste of children and achieve therapeutic effects.
The reason why the golden jujube became a candied fruit is said to be because the Qing Dynasty Karmalan Tongju (equivalent to today's Yilan County Governor) Zhu Caizhe saw that the local golden jujube was rich, but few people ate it and let it rot, so he introduced the royal candied fruit making method, and indeed made the golden jujube turn from black to red. This legend can only be verified today that the general judgment is indeed its own person, but it is indeed an indisputable fact that the golden jujube has increased its acceptance because of the candied fruit.
It's the New Year, you can see the shadows of golden dates and kumquats everywhere, and the yellow chengcheng hanging all over the trees is very pleasing to the eye, but what I want is to pick her quickly and become jam. Especially the golden dates, the most delicious part is the peel, I have always loved citrus peel.
Ingredients or seasonings
2 catties of dates, 400 grams of white sugar, 200 grams of maltose, 1 tsp of salt, 300cc of water
1, wash all, with a fork to poke the hole, one poke three times. I don't like to use bamboo skewers, it feels dangerous, and the fibers of the bamboo skewers that are blunted to the end should stay in the pulp!
2, boil a pot of water, the water boiled all the dates put in, kill the jing. I have to say that this action is called killing jing, it is jing, not qing, it is the use of high temperature to destroy the enzyme activity of vegetables and fruits.
3: Put sugar, maltose, salt and water into the soup pot and cook over low heat until rolling.
4, the color of the golden jujube will become more yellow, 2 kg of golden dates cook for about 12 minutes.
5: Put the dates in sugar water, cook over medium heat until rolled, reduce the heat to slowly honey.
6, from time to time to turn a little, so that the golden dates can eat sugar evenly on each side.
7: Cook until the peel of the jujube becomes translucent, and then you can bottle. I cooked over low heat for about 40 minutes, during which I tried to eat it from time to time, and I ate a lot. At this time, the color of the golden dates has become brown, not as good as the commercially available golden yellow, after all, it is difficult to achieve the consistency of the factory by yourself, and it is good to eat safely.
Tips
No maltose is all made of white sugar substitute bar, it is not recommended to use two sands, the taste will go to the clock, the advantage of using brown maltose is more malt aroma, can neutralize the sweet and greasy feeling.
