How can I make sure that my persimmons will dry properly and not rot?
There are two persimmon trees in my yard, and every year in the fall they produce a lot of yellow and orange persimmons, which makes people want to eat them. Since there are so many persimmons, you can't eat them all at once, so you'll make some of them into persimmon cakes. The taste of persimmon cake made by yourself is pure and clean, and it is very delicious, especially sweet. Today I will share with you the method of making persimmon cake, very simple.
First of all it is important to choose persimmons. Do persimmon cake persimmon to use a very hard pinch can not pinch, soft persimmon is not to do persimmon cake, selected after the persimmon clean, and then dry the water. Next, prepare a peeling knife, soaked in saline water, or sprayed with some white wine can also be, so that the main purpose is to give the peeling knife to kill the bacteria, this step is very important, we must not ignore. Then the persimmon skin off, cut off the skin of the persimmon we need to boil in boiling hot water for two seconds, not too long, put it in immediately after fishing out, this step is also in order to give the persimmon sterilization. Peel down the persimmon skin should not be thrown away, there are other uses after drying. When peeling persimmons, do not remove the persimmon tip, after all the peeling with a rope to each persimmon, and then you can dry.
The persimmons will wilt in about 5 days. On the third day, we need to crush each persimmon with our hands and dry it until it is almost dry, not particularly dry, and then prepare a pot, put a layer of dried persimmon skins on the bottom of the pot, and then put a layer of persimmons, so a layer of persimmon skins, a layer of persimmons, and so on, until the persimmons are all put in place. At this time we cover the persimmon for about ten days, the surface of the persimmon will appear a layer of white frost, this time the persimmon cake is ready. The pulp inside the finished persimmon cake is crystal clear, and it tastes very sweet. Just now we said that the persimmon skin should not be thrown away, in order to dry in the sun together with the persimmons, only then the surface of the persimmons will appear a layer of white frost, this time the persimmons will be very sweet.
What we need to pay attention to is that before making persimmon cake must first look at the weather forecast, at least the next three days are sunny weather can be. Because usually there is no dryer at home, persimmon drying at least three days later will be drier, if you encounter rainy weather, persimmon after the rain will be moldy, so you can not eat.
And our good persimmon cakes do not put in the refrigerator to save, because the refrigerator is more humid, easy to put in the inside bad. The good persimmon cake in a dry and ventilated place to save can be.
