When sweet-scented osmanthus fragrant every year, sweet-scented osmanthus is a traditional way to preserve osmanthus. The preparation method is also simple, just pickle the sweet-scented osmanthus with white or brown sugar. The traditional method of sugar osmanthus needs to be stored for a long time to ferment, otherwise the bitterness and astringency of the flower itself will not be removed. This time I changed this approach. First of all, I gave up white sugar in the materials and chose a relatively healthy rock candy. In fact, I changed the pickling to short-time high-temperature cooking, which can quickly remove the bitterness of the flowers and make them ready. After that, you don't have to wait for a long time, and you will soon be able to eat the sweet and sweet osmanthus. Because of the different methods, I call this sweet-scented osmanthus sauce.
This year, I have to express my gratitude to my friends again and again. During the season when the osmanthus is blooming, I helped me pick a lot of fresh osmanthus. Today I picked a lot of golden osmanthus, and the picking is clean and there is more than a catty. It cost others. In a day's time, in his words, the cervical spondylosis that was raised up was cured, haha. Use these hard-earned golden osmanthus and add rock sugar to make some sweet-scented osmanthus sauce. This time not only rock candy is used, but also the production method is different. This method is suitable for Jin Gui, because Jin Gui has a strong aroma, even if it loses a little during the heating process, it will not affect the overall fragrance. "

Ingredients

Rock Sugar Osmanthus Sauce

1. Pick the fresh sweet-scented osmanthus and pick out the thin stems inside. This time it’s golden osmanthus, golden color and richer fragrance

2. After picking it out, wash it with light salt water, squeeze out the water as much as possible when removing it, and then spread out the remaining water to dry.

3. Put the dried osmanthus into a clean pot and add salt

4. Stir evenly and marinate for half an hour. After marinating with salt, the osmanthus will collapse. Salting can remove the astringency of the petals and sterilize.

5. Put the rock sugar into the pot and add water. The amount of water does not need to be too much. It is better to boil the rock sugar thoroughly.

6. Boil the rock sugar over low heat and melt it completely. The added water should be basically boiled dry, leaving only the sugar liquid

7. Put in osmanthus

8. Let the sugar liquid completely submerge the sweet-scented osmanthus to turn off the heat. At this time, it was basically boiled again.

9. Boil the bottle of osmanthus sauce with boiling water for disinfection and sterilization, and control the moisture. Put the osmanthus sauce into the container and keep it tightly sealed. It can be kept for several years.
