May and June are the ripening period of apricots, and apricots of different varieties and tastes are faintly visible on the market. It has always been thought that apricots are something that gets angry, so I rarely eat them. After inquiring, I found that the role of apricot is beyond my imagination. Apricot belongs to the Rosaceae plant. Apricot not only contains higher carotene and potassium, but also contains dozens of nutrients and medicinal ingredients such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, vitamin B, and vitamin C. In Chinese herbal medicine, apricot has the effects of promoting body fluid to quench thirst, moisturizing the lungs and resolving phlegm, clearing away heat and detoxification. In addition, apricot pulp is rich in vitamin B17 (vitamin B17 is an anti-cancer substance). Therefore, apricot flesh is also a good anti-cancer product. Although apricots are good, eat less, especially for people with indigestion and yin deficiency. Rock sugar apricots are soft and easy to digest, making them an excellent snack for the elderly and children. "

Ingredients

Rock Sugar Apricot

1. Prepare raw materials: apricots and yellow rock sugar. The apricots are bought from the market. They taste more sour and less sweet. I can't finish them in a short time, so I made them into rock candy apricots.

2. Teach you a way to remove the pits of the apricots: first wash the apricots, cut a knife along the center line of the apricots with a knife, and then split them with a hand. The pitted half can be cut out with a knife, it’s very simple. Here, let’s go to the apricot peel in no hurry.

3. Soon the apricot kernels were removed, and the apricot flesh was relatively intact.

4. Put the apricot meat in a saucepan.

5. Add water. Add more water to your liking. If you like to drink sweet apricot water, you can add more. If you like to eat apricots, you can add less. If it's boiled apricot jam, it is recommended to add less water.

6. Add yellow rock sugar and cook on a low heat. The rock sugar melts and turns off the heat. The apricot skin will naturally wrinkle and fall off. If it is boiled apricot jam, you can extend the cooking time and boil the apricot meat until it becomes sticky.

7. Sweet with a slightly sour taste and soft and waxy texture of apricot meat, it is an excellent snack for the elderly and children.

8. In the hot summer, put it in the refrigerator to cool, it will be more delicious.

Tips:
The amount of rock sugar and water added should be determined according to your preference. If you just want to eat apricots with rock sugar, just cook them for 3 or 4 minutes, just melt the rock sugar. If there are lemons, you can add some lemon juice, which will taste better.
