Ingredients for winter melon candy

When making winter melon candy at home, you need winter melon, white sugar, quicklime and other materials, and you also need to prepare a larger basin and an appropriate amount of water.

The specific method of making winter melon candy

1. Wash the winter melon, remove the skin and the flesh, then cut it into small strips one centimeter thick, one centimeter wide, and seven or eight centimeters long for later use.

2. Add quicklime to water to make lime water. The ratio between the two is 1:100. The amount of lime water should be enough to cover the winter melon strips. When making lime water, stir it frequently and don't be afraid of trouble.

3. Soak the cut winter melon strips in lime water, take them out after four to six hours, and then wash them with clean water to wash away all the smell of quicklime.

4. Blanch the winter melon strips in boiling water for five minutes, take them out, and place them in a bowl with white sugar. The ratio of white sugar to winter melon should be about five to four. Marinate them for three days.

5. Pour the pickled winter melon and water into the pot, heat it, and stir until the sugar inside turns into thick syrup. Then you can turn off the heat and continue stirring until white powder appears on the surface of the winter melon. Then let the winter melon cool down, and the homemade winter melon candy is ready.
