I often buy some dried fruits in the supermarket as office snacks, which is also a month's expense. Later, I found that the practice of dried fruits was actually very easy, so I began to have the idea of making dried fruits myself, which could save money and ensure food safety. Now the food sold outside is either this or that, which makes people feel uneasy. It is better to cook it yourself. I learned three ways to make dried fruits, dried mango, dried apple and dried sweet potato. These three kinds of dried fruits are simple and taste as good as those sold outside. Let's study together.

Method for making dried mango

Ingredients: mango

Ingredients: brown rice, snow lotus seeds, coix seed, buckwheat, cereal, peas, red beans, mung beans, flower beans, black beans, black rice and corn.

Seasoning: egg yolk powder, vegetable oil, sugar, soy sauce powder, salt, glucose and malt extract.

Steps/methods

Choose ripe fresh mango, such as Luzong mango or purple mango or Hainan local wild mango, which is suitable for processing and has good color.

Peel and slice mango: Because the peel and core account for about 50%, and the available fleshy part only accounts for half, how to increase the yield and reduce the cost is a very important issue.

1. When mango is ripe, the peel becomes soft. It's easy to make paste, but it needs hardening to make sheet.

2, otherwise it is not easy to form. There are many kinds of hardeners added, and calcium chloride has the best effect. In addition, in order to improve the yield and flavor.

3, part of sucrose or starch syrup can be added, 60%-70% of sucrose or starch syrup is used, and a small amount of calcium chloride hardener is added, and mango slices are soaked in syrup for 1-2 days, which plays the role of hardening and sugar absorption. It would be better if there is a vacuum sugar infiltration device.

4. Take the mango slices out of the sugar solution and dry them at 60-70℃ to reduce the water content to 16%. If there is vacuum drying equipment, the drying time will be shortened and the color will be better.

5. After drying, you can take out the bag to eat.

Method for making dried apples

Ingredients: 1 apple

Seasoning: half a lemon

Kitchenware: oven

1. Wash the apple and cut it into four pieces. Seeds, skins and slices. I cut it too thin. It should have been baked for two hours. I baked it in 30 minutes. ) Soak with clean water and half lemon juice 15 minutes. The amount of water should not exceed that of apple slices. )

2. Spread the apples on the grill and put them in the preheated oven, 100℃ baking 1 hour. This time is adjusted according to the thickness of the apple slices. )

It's almost dry, and the apple slices begin to curl. Finally, it's done.

The practice of dried sweet potatoes

Ingredients: Sweet potato.

Method steps:

1. Buy sweet potatoes on the street.

2. Wash the bought sweet potatoes.

3. Add the right amount of water to the pot, add the right amount of salt, pour in the sweet potato and cook the sweet potato.

4. Pick up the sweet potato and let it cool until it is completely cool.

5, cut the cool sweet potato into strips, put it in the oven to dry, and bake it to your favorite dryness.

6. Dried sweet potatoes are ready and delicious.

Is it simple? Although dried fruits are delicious, they are only suitable for afternoon tea, because the sugar content of dried fruits is still very high.
