Tools: sieve, flat bottom plate or baking tray, scraper, a little cooking oil, plastic wrap

Practice:

1, hawthorn remove the stalk, pick out the wormholes do not want to, wash, pour into the pot, add the water to fire cook

2, boil and turn to a small fire to cook about 10 -15 minutes, cook until the water is reduced, the pulp is soft, with a spoon can be stirred to the extent that the water is very little

3, will be cooked pulp puree through a sieve, remove the skin and nucleus, leaving the delicate puree

4, will be good sieve puree back to the pot, turn on the low heat and continue to heat, so that the water evaporates some more

5, Pour the sugar, stir well, continue to heat until the jam is very thick can be (during this period to keep stirring, in order to prevent staining the pan), turn off the heat and then continue to stir for a while so that the temperature is lowered, the water continues to evaporate, dry to warm can be

6, ready to flat-bottomed plate or baking tray, in the top of the drop of one or two drops of cooking oil to wipe away, so that the whole plate surface has a little bit of oil, anti-staining

7, the puree will be poured into the plate spread out, scrape the surface with a spatula, the thickness of about 3-5mm

8, if it is the north, will be placed on the plate on the heater, so that the moisture to continue to evaporate (the plate should be covered with a piece of paper on top of the surface to prevent the surface is too dry and hard), the time is about a day (depending on the consistency of the jam, and the heat of the heater). Until the surface is dry and no longer sticky, and the bottom can be easily lifted from the top of the plate without sticking, and when there is some overall hardness.

9, there is no heating, if the air is dry, direct air drying can also be. Also depends on the situation, the time is about a day to a day and a half. To achieve the surface and the bottom are no longer sticky, softness can be controlled according to their own preferences. The longer it takes, the drier it will be. (But can not be baked too dry and too hard, otherwise it is not easy to roll into a roll, easy to break)

10, you can also use the plastic wrap to operate, the jam to hold a spoonful of plastic wrap, the top of a layer of plastic wrap, with the hands of the jam to pat flat pat flat to the thickness of about 3mm. Then remove the plastic wrap from the surface and place it in a dry place to dry out

11, and finally roll the dried fruit leather into rolls.

Remarks:

1, do fruit leather is not difficult, mainly is a process of evaporating water, concentrated jam. Because hawthorn is particularly rich in pectin, it is easy to solidify by itself after removing the water in order to make this unique food.

2, as for the water evaporated to what extent, the final jam concentrated to what extent, in fact, there is no a definite value, cook until thick can be. Because in the process of drying, drying, moisture will continue to evaporate, just drying time will be different.

3, although hawthorn is very sour, but do not need to put too much sugar fruit leather, because the production of most of the water needs to be removed, the finished product is concentrated hawthorn, does not need too much sugar to ensure the sweet and sour taste. So sugar must not be put first, wait until the water has been evaporated almost before putting. Sugar should not be put in all at once, after putting in, taste it first, if you feel sour, then put in some more. The final fruit leather will be a little less sweet than when it is boiled, so please control yourself according to your personal taste. Personally, I think the more acidic flavor is more delicious.

4, do fruit leather material to hawthorn as the main, in addition can also add some apples, persimmons, peaches and other pectin-rich fruits as ingredients, but the main ingredient should be hawthorn

5, do fruit leather is very not out of the number of 500 grams of hawthorn, only made three medium plate, rolled into fruit leather only 10, if you want to eat addictive, we need to use hawthorn oh

6, cook hawthorn to use casserole or stainless steel pot, don't use iron pot
