2. Add clean water to the prepared quicklime to make very dilute quicklime water. The ratio of lime to water here should be about 1 to 300 grams.

3. Put the cut winter melon strips into the prepared lime water and soak them in it. Take them out after twelve to fifteen hours and wash them several times with clean water to wash away the smell of quicklime.

After the winter melon strips and sugar are completely blended together, you can remove from the pan. After it cools down, sprinkle some powdered sugar and the homemade candied winter melon is ready to be eaten.
