Today, I will share the method of homemade dates, there is no technical difficulty, it is very easy to operate, novices can also do it successfully at one time, and it will not be bad for a year if it is stored well. The made dates can be used to steam steamed buns, steamed glutinous rice, and make pastries, which are all very good, and interested friends can make them together!
【Ingredients】
Fresh dates, water, sugar
【Directions】
Prepare 600 grams of jujubes, clean them, and then use a fork or toothpick to scrape out the lines on them, so that they can easily inhale enough sugar solution and add flavor.
Find a thick rigid straw, rotate it around each end of the jujube, and then gently push it, and the jujube core can be easily taken out.
After all the processing is done, put it in the pot, add the water that has not been over the jujube, turn to medium heat and cook for ten minutes after boiling, remove it and rinse it twice, so that the jujube can be cleaned very clean.
The next step is the key step of making dates. Add 350 grams of sugar to the pot, 900 ml of water, boil over high heat, wait for the sugar to melt completely, put in the jujube, boil again, and then turn to medium heat and cook for about 30 minutes, at this time the sugar solution will become more viscous, turn to the minimum heat and cook for about 15 minutes.
Find a breathable container, arrange the finished dates in turn, put them in a sunny place, and dry them for more than six hours, or you can put them directly in the oven to bake.
I made this kind of drying for six hours, the water content is relatively large, the taste is slightly soft, if you like to dry a little, chew more chewy, you can extend the drying time, this is mainly according to your own needs to decide.
