1. Cut the wax gourd into strips;

2. Wash the wax gourd blocks, soak them in clear water for half a day to a day (it needs to be refrigerated for a long time), and change the clear water twice during this period to ensure that there is no lime smell left. The was wax gourd blocks are boile in boiling water for 5 minutes;

3. Weigh the wax gourd, and take half of the white sugar. Take 3 grams of white sugar, the sweetness is similar to that of dry honey syrup;

4. Sugar stains: spread a layer of wax gourd blocks and a layer of white sugar, and refrigerate for 2~3 days;

5. Boil melon syrup: The candied melon is hard and transparent, and all the candied melon pieces are boiled in the pot (there is no need to add additional water and sugar, at this time, the water in the melon pieces has been mixed with white sugar to form syrup);

6. After boiling, turn to medium heat, and keep stirring. Wax gourd blocks are milky white;

7. The sugar water turns into thick syrup to wrap the melon meat, resulting in sugar bubbles. Pay attention to turn off the fire immediately when there is basically no sugar water.

8. Pour it into the plate stand and open it for a few minutes. Pour the syrup together.

9. Stir to separate out sugar: when the temperature of melon meat drops, it starts to separate out sugar powder by itself, and it feels like sand on the surface. Then it starts to stir gently with a big spoon. The more you stir, the more white sugar powder will be separated out, and the melon meat will turn from soft to hard, and the winter melon candy will be delicious.
