Wax gourd, lime water 2% concentration, white sugar

Practice:

1, cut the wax gourd into strips.

2. Soak in lime water for one night, and the lime is mixed with clear water, and the ratio of lime to water is 20: 1000. Leave it for a few minutes, take the supernatant and soak the wax gourd pieces, and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.

3. Wash the wax gourd blocks and soak them in clear water for half a day to one day. It needs to be refrigerated for a long time. During this period, change the clear water twice to ensure that there is no lime residue. Boil the washed wax gourd blocks in boiling water for 5 minutes.

4. Weigh the wax gourd, and the weight of white sugar is half that of wax gourd meat.

5, a layer of melon blocks and a layer of sugar are paved. Refrigerate for 2~3 days.

6. The candied melon is hard and transparent, and all the sugar water in the melon block is boiled in the pot.

7. Turn to medium heat after boiling, and keep stirring during this period. The wax gourd pieces are milky white.

8. Sugar water turns into thick syrup to wrap melon meat and produce sugar bubbles. Pay attention to the fact that there is basically no sugar water, and immediately turn off the fire.

9. Pour it into the plate stand for a few minutes, and pour the syrup together.

10, when the temperature of melon meat drops, it starts to precipitate powdered sugar by itself, and it feels like sand on the surface, and then it starts to stir gently with a big spoon. The more it is stirred, the more white powdered sugar is precipitated, and the melon meat turns from soft to hard, and the candied winter melon can be eaten beautifully.
