Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a method for making candied apricots, and more particularly to a method for making candied apricots with a fruit and vegetable flavor. Background Technology
[0002] Sugar apricots are a type of candy unique to wedding customs, belonging to the category of cotton candy. Shaped like a pomegranate, these hollow candies can reach a height of 80 centimeters, making them arguably the world's largest candy. The cotton candy is soft, and a traditional technique transforms it into sugar apricots. However, traditional sugar apricots only have a simple sugar flavor, making it difficult to add richer, healthier, and harmless flavors such as fruits and vegetables without the use of chemical additives. Summary of the Invention
[0003] This invention provides a method for producing fruit and vegetable-type candied apricots, which has the advantages of being healthy, harmless, and having a rich flavor.
[0004] To solve the above technical problems, the present invention adopts the following technical solution: a method for making fruit and vegetable type candied apricots, the production process is as follows: Step 1, making fruit and vegetable juice: take fruit and vegetable pulp, crush and filter to extract juice; Step 2: Add 1000g of white sugar, 200g of water, and 300g of fruit and vegetable juice to the pot; Step 3: Place the pot back on the stove and heat it while stirring continuously. Heat to 100-105 degrees Celsius, then stop stirring and keep it warm for five minutes. Step 4: Rapidly heat to 160 degrees Celsius within 5 minutes, and stop heating after reaching 160 degrees Celsius; Step 5: Place the pot in cold water to cool, stirring quickly while cooling. Once the temperature drops to 120-125 degrees Celsius, pour it into the mold. Step 6: Cool and solidify the product before removing it from the mold.
[0005] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: First, fruit and vegetable juice is extracted without adding water. Then, sugar, water, and fruit and vegetable juice are added to a pot in a ratio of 10:2:3 and heated. During the heating process, continuous stirring is maintained, and stirring is stopped at 100-105 degrees Celsius to keep warm for five minutes. Then, the temperature is rapidly increased to 160 degrees Celsius. Finally, the pot is placed in cold water to cool while stirring rapidly until the temperature drops to 120-125 degrees Celsius. The mixture is then poured into a mold to cool and solidify into the final product. In this process, by extracting fruit and vegetable juice and controlling the temperature, stirring, and cooling timing, the fusion and shaping of the candied apricots with the fruits and vegetables are achieved, ultimately resulting in healthy, harmless, and flavorful candied apricots, thus optimizing and improving the traditional candied apricot recipe.
[0006] Furthermore, the fruit and vegetable juice in step 1 is dragon fruit juice. Dragon fruit pulp is taken, crushed, filtered, and juiced.
[0007] Furthermore, the fruit and vegetable juice in step 1 is carrot juice. Take carrot flesh, crush it, filter it, and extract the juice.
[0008] Furthermore, the fruit and vegetable juice in step 1 is amaranth juice. Amaranth leaves are taken, crushed, and filtered to extract the juice.
[0009] Furthermore, the fruit and vegetable juice in step 1 is watermelon juice. Take a watermelon, remove the seeds, crush it, filter it, and extract the juice.
[0010] Furthermore, the fruit and vegetable juice in step 1 is bayberry juice. Take bayberries, remove the pits, crush and filter to extract the juice.
[0011] Different fruit and vegetable juices are added to suit different taste preferences. The five selected fruit and vegetable juices are all red or purple, so the final product of candied apricots will also have a red and auspicious color that is more in line with wedding customs, without the need to add any chemical coloring agents.
