Solar terms for drying persimmons

First, peel the persimmon. If the quantity is small, you can use the peeler directly (rural persimmons are mostly inserted on a shaft with a fork at one end and a handle at the other end of the shaft. Turn the handle with the right hand and peel the persimmon with the peeler with the left hand. Then put them on bamboo baskets one by one to dry. After drying for a few days, gently rub them with your hands, being careful not to pinch the skin. Those without bamboo baskets can also be tied up with thick lines and hung up to dry.

The crust is crushed and mashed, and the cooked red beans are stirred and packaged into bean bags, which are sweet and delicious and unique. It should be noted that persimmon is most afraid of cloudy days, and the water will not evaporate. Persimmons will become moldy and sour, and will go bad. Turn it over often when the weather is good, so it won't break. Harvesting is to rotate the peel and put it on the shelf for continuous operation, that is, to dry it in a sunny place, put it on the shelf with a wooden stick, tie two strands of hemp rope with a diameter of 0.5 cm on the shelf, and insert the peeled persimmon and fruit handle between the two strands of rope, from top to bottom, until it approaches the horizontal rafters.

From the appearance, the ripe fruit is golden in color, reddish in color and thin yellow in calyx, which is the best. Persimmons should be harvested at the right time for processing. The persimmon harvested too early has more water and less sugar, and the quality of the processed persimmon is poor. If the persimmon is harvested too late, it is soft and ripe, and it is difficult to process. During this period, you can smoke a little sulfur to make its color look good, or you can not smoke sulfur. Whether to smoke sulfur or not depends on personal decision. After smoking, you can bask in the sun, then put it in a cool and dry place for a while, and you can eat it.

The conversion rate of persimmon sugar is better, and the quality is not affected by fruit flies. When processing, it is best to look at the weather forecast in the last 10 day to ensure the sunny weather, so as to ensure the good quality of hanging persimmons. There is no mildew and deterioration. It's best to hang peeled persimmons on bamboo-woven hollow strips, which can make water loss faster and save time. Furthermore, it is necessary to expose to the sun. This is how persimmon cakes are slowly exposed to the sun. Choose small round hard persimmons, wash and drain, put them in a ventilated place to dry the skin, and gently press them into cakes.
