How to make dried prunes with rock sugar ?

"1" Please soak fresh prunes in water, put in about 3g of salt, gently shake to melt the salt and soak for about 15 minutes.

"2" Put the plums into a saucepan and pour in a moderate amount of water (about the level of the plums). Add 100g of sugar (the amount of sugar can be increased or decreased according to your preference) and taste the flavor during the cooking process, or you can choose to put icing sugar, we ran out of icing sugar at home)

"3" Boil on high heat and then reduce the heat to medium, a small amount of froth on the surface can be scooped off with a spoon.

"4" Stir gently with chopsticks, being careful not to break the flesh of the prunes. It will take about 10 to 15 minutes depending on the situation. When the amount of water is less, be careful not to burn it.

The amount of water is getting less and less, you can turn down the fire slowly drying, diligently stirring a little, try to control the water in the pot dry, because if it is too wet, then fish up with the oven to dry more time, pay attention to be sure not to paste it. After turning off the heat, you can continue to leave it in the pan for a while to dry out a little more.

Tips

1, like a little wet dried plums can not need the last step of drying, directly into the dish mix sugar is good.

2, no oven can also use the microwave. Dry on medium-high heat, checking on the plums every 10 minutes.

3, prunes must be dried a little while in the pan, otherwise the back of the oven or microwave drying is too slow.

4, because of the added sugar, so the dried prunes still very hot when it seems a little moist, and when it cools down it will seem a little drier.

5, mixing sugar is best when just poured into the disk, while the plums are still hot better mixing is more uniform.
