How is winter melon candy made?

How to make melon candy? My answer is: winter melon candy is a very delicious dessert when I was a child. It is called "candied winter melon" here. This is a very sweet sugar. Because there was not much material when I was a child, there were few snacks at that time. As a kind of low sugar, winter melon candy is deeply loved by children. But because this food is too sweet, sometimes I feel tired after eating too much.

Candied wax gourd, called candied wax gourd in Yunnan, is a traditional snack in Yuxi, Yunnan. Winter melon candy can be divided into white winter melon candy and red winter melon candy because of the different colors of sugar added in the production process. White winter melon sugar is added with white sugar, so the color is white and crystal clear. Red winter melon sugar with brown sugar, amber in color, ruddy and transparent, very beautiful.

The production of wax gourd candy is not complicated, but it takes a little longer. Mainly using wax gourd as raw material, peeled and peeled, cut into square strips, soaked in edible lime water for several hours, cooked in a pot, marinated in white sugar for 2 days, finally put in a pot to fry the water in the melon, and wrapped the wax gourd strips with sugar. Finished product: fragrant and refreshing, fresh and tender meat, instant in the mouth. Therefore, some friends who come to Yuxi will always bring some winter melon candy back as gifts for relatives and friends. Let Xiyang share the production method of this winter melon candy for friends in detail.

Making skills of "winter melon candy"

1. Many friends think lime is edible when they see the word lime. In fact, one kind of lime is edible lime, which has been used in many foods, such as bean jelly and tofu. So you can eat it safely.

2. Why put lime? Wax gourd soaked in lime can make it hard, and it is not easy to soften and rot in subsequent operations.

3. The ratio of lime to water is 2%, that is to say, 20g of lime can be put into one kilogram of clean water.

4. At last, stir-fry frequently when the moisture is quick-drying, so as to avoid the smell of the paste pot, and it will discolor the wax gourd candy and affect the appearance of the finished product.
