How to make microwaved preserved cherries

If it weren’t for the Mother’s Day activities on Weibo every day, I wouldn’t have known that Mother’s Day would be in a few days. Every year when Mother’s Day and Father’s Day come around, I feel guilty. When I was at home, I didn't let my parents enjoy family time. Now that I have been away from home for a long time, every time I want to go back, I can't go back. I feel that I am so far away from my parents that I can't take care of them.

Someone asked me before what I was going to make for my mother on Mother’s Day. I thought of this preserved cherry. My mother is from Suzhou and loves to eat candied fruits. Nowadays, I don’t dare to eat the candied fruits outside because of hygiene problems. So I made this for my mother. , she will definitely like it.

1. Rinse the fresh cherries, soak them in light salt water for 2 hours, then drain the water

2. Remove the stems and put them in a microwave container, pour in sugar, mix well and marinate

3. After marinating for about half an hour, the sugar will begin to melt and release some water.

4. Open the container, do not cover it, put it in the microwave, and heat it on high heat for four minutes

5. Wear gloves to take it out and pour out the juice (you can add some warm water to this juice to drink it as cherry juice). Then put it in the microwave oven and heat it on high heat for four minutes, take it out and stir it.

6. Finally put it in the microwave oven and heat it on high heat for four minutes. At this time, take it out and check that there is almost no juice in the container. If you can't finish it at the moment, you can put it in a sealed bottle and put it in the refrigerator. You should finish it within a week

Cooking Tips

1. Pour out the soup after heating it for the first time and reheat it again. It can absorb moisture quickly. Remove and stir every four minutes of heating to allow the cherries to heat evenly.

2. If you like to bring some soup, you don’t need to pour out the juice in step 5.

3. The power of each microwave oven is different. The power of my microwave oven is 750W, so the heating time I write here is for reference only. It depends on the degree of dryness of the soup. In short, the soup It’s OK if you can’t see the juice after receiving it.
