Thirty-nine days, it was cold and freezing. Women with weak bodies are more afraid of cold, and cold hands and feet are common. Women with cold constitutions must warm up in winter. Today’s ginger and jujube cream is especially suitable for winter use. The ingredients are easy to obtain and the method is simple. It can be eaten for one month at a time, which is also very convenient. Because of the addition of a little dried red dates, the aftertaste is slightly fragrant, and it also neutralizes a part of the spiciness of ginger.

Brown Sugar Ginger and Jujube Paste

1. Let me talk about the ginger I chose today. The famous Lushan ginger in Henan is used. This kind of ginger is not big, but it has a strong flavor. I saw it in the supermarket today and bought a few kilograms without hesitation. Compared with ordinary ginger, it is much smaller than ordinary ginger. But it is much more porcelain than ordinary ginger.

Brown Sugar Ginger and Jujube Paste recipe

2. Weigh the raw materials, the handmade bowl-shaped brown sugar produced in Yunnan used for brown sugar can also be replaced with ordinary brown sugar. Red dates are dried dates. In order to facilitate powdering, the paste produced by doing this is more delicate.

3. Wash ginger, peeled and cut into small pieces

4. First use a wall breaker to crush the dried red dates into powder and take them out for later use.

5. Put the ginger block directly into the wall breaker, add water, and use the sauce function to make a paste. In this way, the jujube powder remaining in it is also easy to paste in the ginger, and it is not wasted at all.

6. Pour the ginger paste into a thick-bottomed stainless steel pot, add brown sugar, and cook over medium heat

7. Cook until the brown sugar melts, pour in the date powder and continue cooking

8. When the paste becomes thick, turn to a low heat and continue to simmer, stirring constantly to avoid sticking the pot. Cooking in winter, it will be misty if you can't take pictures.

9. Until the paste is very thick and does not stir, it is fine.

10. Shovel it upright with a shovel and won't slip off. This kind of ginger and jujube paste has very little water content, and it will not be bad if it is packed in a clean container for a month or two. If there is too much moisture, it will easily break.

Tips:
1. It must be boiled until it is upright with a shovel and will not slip off, so that it is not easy to break.
2. The container must be sterilized with boiling water before loading and storing.
3. Dig with a small spoon when eating. The spoon should be clean and there should be no water.
