Apricot sugar water:
1. Wash the apricots and break them in half, remove the cores。
2. Add the sugar to the apricot pit, then add the water and mix well so that the sugar is all moistened.
3. Add the sugar and water to the pot and heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, so that all the sugar is dissolved.
4. Continue to boil until the sugar water comes to a boil.
Pour the processed apricots into the boiling sugar water and heat over high heat until it comes to a boil again.
5. Once the water boils, turn the heat to medium and continue cooking for 1-2 minutes (depending on the hardness of the apricots, if they are very hard you can cook them for a little longer).
Turn off the heat and soak the apricots in the sugar water.
After cooling, refrigerate the apricots overnight and serve at any time.
Tips:
1. Choose hard apricots, the kind of ripe, very sweet apricots is not suitable.
The hard, sour apricots will be just right in terms of hardness and sweetness.
2. Do you need to peel the apricots? It is not necessary. Just wash them well.
Apricot skin is not easy to remove, while the apricot skin is very thin, and will not affect the taste.
3. The apricots in sugar water can be stored in the refrigerator for more than 1 week (pay attention to the seal).
The premise is not to reduce the amount of sugar.
The practice of apricot jam:
Sweet apricot jam is not only good in color and rich in flavor but also very diverse in how to eat it.
Like many jams, it can be spread on bread, made into ice cream, made into mousse, and can be drunk directly with water as a drink.
1. To make apricot jam, it is recommended to choose ripe, soft apricots so that it is easier to boil them into a sauce, which is different from making sugar water apricots.
First, wash the apricots and break them in half and remove the cores.
2. Add sugar to the apricots, then add water and mix well so that the sugar is all moistened.
3. Then pour it all into a pan and heat it on medium heat.
4. As it heats up, the sugar will slowly melt and the apricots will gradually ooze out more water.
Because the apricots were chosen to be ripe and soft, the apricots will have started to become soft and rotten by this time.
5. Keep heating to bring the apricots to a boil.
Once boiling, continue to simmer over medium heat, stirring slowly to prevent mashing.
6. Continue heating so that the water evaporates and the apricots turn into a sauce as they simmer and then turn off the heat.
