1, oiled
After cooking in Sugar-Coated Berry, coating a layer of cooking oil will not only make the sugar on the surface shiny and beautiful, but also make it difficult to melt.
2. Add gelatin
Put the sugar into a pot, add gelatin, stir well, add water, and add water to the sugar. After boiling the sugar for 3 minutes, add glass crisp and stir well. When the sugar is almost cooked, add citric acid, in which citric acid can prevent the sugar from turning into sand, and gelatin (edible gum) can make the sugar hard and prolong the melting time.
3. Dry and store at low temperature.
If the temperature in Sugar-Coated Berry is too high, the sugar will melt easily. It is suggested to wrap it in a paper bag or plastic bag special for food, seal it and store it in the refrigerator or a cool and dry place with low temperature, so as not to let the sugar on the surface melt due to high temperature or moisture absorption.
How long does it take to boil sugar in Sugar-Coated Berry?
About 20 minutes, specific steps can refer to the following practices.
1, Sugar-Coated Berry needs to add a proper amount of cold water to the pot first.
2. Add an appropriate amount of rock sugar, boil the rock sugar in the water with a big fire, and gently press it with a spoon or other tools, and the rock sugar will be broken. You can't use an iron pot or a aluminum pot to cook the sugar, because they will color the sugar when cooking it, so you can only use a stainless steel non-stick pot.
3. When the water in the pot boils and the sugar melts, turn down the fire and cook for about 7 to 8 minutes.
4. At this time, a small amount of sugar has been diluted. In order to make the sugar evenly diluted, keep a slow fire and stir it in the pot with chopsticks for 2 to 3 minutes.
5. Finally, the syrup should be completely boiled out. Be careful not to stir with chopsticks in this process, otherwise the rock sugar will be burnt when it touches the bottom of the pot.
6. Boil for about 15 minutes. Stir with chopsticks first to see if there is any sticky feeling. If there is, stir-fry the pond with a shovel, usually for 2 to 3 minutes. When the syrup is shoveled with a shovel, the dripping sugar turns yellow and almost forms a line, which means that the syrup has been completely cooked.
How long does Sugar-Coated Berry's sugar harden?
Generally, it hardens when it is cold, and it takes about 1-2 minutes.
Sugar-Coated Berry's sugar solution is hot at first, but the taste of sugar is still sticky and soft. After it is put on a wooden board or iron plate to cool, the sugar will gradually harden. After it can be cooled, bite it with your teeth. If it sticks to your teeth, the boiled sugar solution needs to be heated continuously. If you don't stick your teeth, you will feel like eating fruit candy, which proves that the heat is just right.
Can ordinary sugar make candied haws?
Sure.
Sugar-coated haws are covered with a layer of sugar coating, which is made by boiling sugar into sugar juice and dipping it in. Therefore, whether it is rock sugar, white sugar, brown sugar or sucrose, it can be boiled into sugar juice and dipped in sugar haws.
However, authentic Sugar-Coated Berry is dipped in sugar-coated haws with crystal sugar, because the crystal sugar will melt in the mouth, and the taste will be crisp and hard after frosting, and it has the taste of eating fruit candy. However, the sugar-coated haws made of white sugar boiled into sugar juice are easy to stick their teeth at the entrance, and the taste is not very good.
