White sugar: 1000 grams

Refined water: 600 grams

Sodium citrate: 2 grams

2. Boil syrup process:

Boiling water with the fire, pouring sugar, mixing with an electric whisk to prevent the sugar from settling on the bottom of the paste until the sugar is completely dissolved. When the water boils, change the fire, add sodium citrate. Be careful to add slowly to prevent the red bean sugar water from overflowing. Use an electronic thermometer to measure the temperature, the temperature 110-115 degrees, the sweetness of 78 to -80% is ready. Use a brush to touch the water to remove the vessel around, to prevent the vessel on the sugar paste bottom syrup turn sand condition. Use a small spout to remove the white foam (residue in the sugar) from the syrup.

3. Storage

Store the boiled syrup for at least a week (preferably a month) before application. This is due to the fact that the conversion is a slow process, the syrup is still in the process of conversion within a week, and basically terminated after a week. The best way to make mooncakes is to boil the syrup two months in advance. Syrup boiled and poured into a clean vessel, at first semi-sealed, of course, after refrigeration sealed storage, halfway can not open the vessel mixing. Storage working temperature should be moderate. Converted syrup can generally be stored for three months to the greater part of the time, and even a year. Boil new syrup can be moderately add an old syrup or glucose.

4. pay attention to

White sugar to particulate matter size proportionate, white color (indicating that contains less residue), made of syrup storage time longer. Sodium citrate acts as a metal catalyst, can be replaced with lemonade, but the amount used, such as the recipe for 2 grams of sodium citrate can be replaced with 20-40 grams of lemonade.
