[candied Bayberry Dried]
1.
I found a glass bowl that is convenient for storing dried bayberry. It is better to use glass jars for sour and salty foods. Therefore, the amount of the glass bowl is 420 grams.
2.
There was a little bit of rock sugar left at home, 80 grams, so I put it down, but the sweetness is definitely not enough, so I also put 120 grams of white sugar, of course, you can use all white sugar.
3.
Wash the dried bayberry with clean water, but don't soak it.
4.
Pour in the dried bayberry, clean water, and the amount of water is equal to the dried bayberry.
5.
After boiling, the dried bayberry will swell. When there is some water left at the bottom, add rock sugar and white sugar.
6.
After saccharification, cook until the soup becomes a bit thick. At this time, the dried bayberry will shrink back to its original size. You don't need to cook it too dry. The juice can be soaked in sour plum soup.
Tips:
1. Rinse the dried bayberry with clean water first. If it is soaked for too long, the sourness will be diluted.
2. The amount of sugar should of course be adjusted according to the acidity of the dried bayberry itself. My dried bayberry is relatively sour, and 200 grams of sugar does not look too sweet. You can rest assured.
3. When cooking, put the sugar later and cook until it expands, so that the sweetness will easily enter the gaps of the dried bayberry. If you put the sugar at the beginning, the dried bayberry will not cook much. My mother said, I don’t know if it’s right. There is a real difference, it sounds very reasonable, ha ha.
4. When you put it in a glass bowl, all the soup will sink underneath. When you eat it, dip it in the juice, it will taste sour and sweet.
