How to make honeydew melon (kwantung sugar)?

"Tanggua" is a kind of sticky sugar made of yellow rice and malt. The candy that is drawn into a long strip is called "Guandong Sugar", and the candy that is drawn into a flat circle is called "Tanggua". When it is put outside in winter, because of the cold weather, the honeydew melon is solidified firmly, and there are some tiny bubbles in it, which tastes crisp and sweet and has a special flavor. Raw materials: 35 kg of melon sticks, 8.5 kg of sugar, 650-700g of sodium sulfite 1 50g of alum150g of production method1. The main ingredient is melon or watermelon, and the skin and pulp are scraped off. 2. Cut into melon rings with a width of 4cm horizontally, and cut into 35kg melon strips with a length of 4cm and a width of 1cm after washing. 3. Take 5.5 kg of white sugar and 15 kg of clear water, heat and dissolve them into white sugar solution, add a small amount of clear water to 3 kg of white sugar, and then put them into a container for grinding. Then add 500 grams of lime and 20 kilograms of clean water to make limewater. Pour the cut melon strips into lime water, sprinkle with 150 ~ 200g lime powder, press the melon strips with bamboo sticks or wooden boards to completely immerse them for about 10 hour until the melon strips are completely calcified and have no soft core. If the soaking time is short, you can add some lime. 4. Pick up the melon sticks soaked in lime, rinse them with clear water, remove the ash, and then use blisters to change the water every 2 hours, usually 4 times.
