1 How long can loquat paste be kept?
1. Homemade unopened: 2-3 months. Different from other processed loquat paste, homemade loquat paste generally does not add food preservatives, so the storage period is not very long, and the general validity period is two to three months;
2. Homemade loquat paste Opening: It is recommended to consume it within one month. Because loquat paste is rich in sugar and is very sweet, bacteria can easily breed after opening and cause deterioration.
3. Industrial production: 1-2 years. Preservatives are usually added to the loquat paste produced in the factory. Even if no preservatives are added, the sealing process is better, so the shelf life is longer. 2 How to make loquat paste
Ingredients: loquat, rock sugar
Method:
1. First remove the loquat skin and loquat core, and wash them with clean water.
2. After washing, mash the loquats with a spoon and put them into the pot.
3. Take an appropriate amount of sugar and pour it into a container with loquats. No need to add additional water, just boil it until it boils.
4. After the loquats in the pot are boiled, we have to grind the Sichuan clams into powder and then add water to make the juice and pour it into the boiled loquat pot and continue to cook for three hours.
5. After boiling for three hours, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, mainly to extend the preservation time.
6. When we see that the cooked loquat is thick, we can collect the juice from the loquat, turn off the heat, and put it into a bottle for storage. 3 How to store loquat paste well
1. Store it at room temperature. It is recommended to place it in a relatively cool and dry place to avoid mold and deterioration caused by moisture.
2. Store in the refrigerator. Because loquat contains a large amount of sugar, it is easy for bacteria to breed, deteriorate and become moldy. However, at low temperatures, it is helpful to inhibit bacterial growth and extend the storage time. 4 Can loquat paste be eaten after being stored for half a year?
1. It is still edible after opening: Due to the sugar content of loquat paste, even without adding chemical preservatives, it has a certain preservative effect, and its shelf life is generally longer. If the storage method is proper, it can generally be stored for 1-2 years, so loquat paste that has not been opened for half a year can still be eaten.
2. It can be eaten if it has been opened and has not deteriorated.
If it is opened and kept in the refrigerator for half a year, and there is no deterioration such as discoloration, odor, mold, etc., it is generally still edible. However, if it is left at room temperature for half a year, it is difficult not to guarantee that it will not be eaten. If it has gone bad, it needs to be identified before consumption.
