Green and red silk

Introduction:

"When I was young, I liked to eat green and red silk moon cakes which were better than Wuren moon cakes. And naughty, I had to break the moon cakes and pick out all the green and red silk with toothpicks. Then I ate the rest according to the situation. If it was too sweet, I would not eat it. If it was too salty, I would eat it. Every Mid Autumn Festival, I begged my mother to buy a lot of green and red silk moon cakes. In fact, I just like to eat green and red silk Later, there were more and more kinds of moon cakes, but I couldn't see the green and red silk moon cakes, which made me very depressed for several years To the University found that the original school rice cake above the sprinkle is all green red silk! So every morning's must-have is a piece of hair cake, but also to the master said to want the piece with the most green and red silk ~ one day it is estimated that there is no green and red silk, the master is to do the jujube bar of hair cake, I passed, the master asked me if I want a piece of hair cake as before? I'll pick the biggest one for you! So I was embarrassed to say that I just like to eat green and red silk, but I don't like to eat hair cake. It's too sweet... "

Production steps:

Step 1: clean the fresh orange peel and cut it into small strips with scissors

Step 2: then add lime into the water, take the clear solution above, and soak the orange peel for 10 hours

Step 3: rinse the soaked orange peel for many times until it doesn't taste bitter and astringent. Remove part of it and dye it red with a little red pigment

Step 4: dye the rest green, I only have Turquoise pigment, I recommend you dye it light green

Step 5: add half the weight of orange peel and sugar to the red one

Step 6: green is the same, add half the weight of orange peel sugar

Step 7: marinate for three days. This is what it looks like after three days. Some water will come out and be poured out

Step 8: add another normal amount of sugar

Step 9: do the same for the red one

Step 10: add the other half of the sugar and continue to marinate for two days

Materials required:

Orange peel: 500g

Sugar: 500g

Lime: right amount

Red pigment: appropriate amount

Green pigment: moderate amount

Precautions: 1. To popularize science, why use lime: in fact, it mainly uses the calcium ion inside and the material inside the fruit to form a hard fibrous scaffold structure. In food processing, it is called hardening. In order to prevent the fruit tissue from becoming a mass of rotten, commonly known as jam, when boiling or salting sugar in the next step ~ 2. Don't worry, why do I choose lime The maximum amount of lime is 100g, and only 0.1g can be found in clean water. For those who love baking, feel it Basically equivalent to no, don't worry about unhealthy, and you have to rinse it clean ~ (I will tell you that the aluminum in the cheap alum is used in industry!) 3. Generally speaking, preserved fruit production also needs color protection, that is, to prevent the fruit from becoming so black and ugly as the cut apple, we need sodium bisulfite, but we don't need it. 4. We can spread the evaporated cake after it is ready~
