As the saying goes, "The smoke of firework in the world is the most soothing to the human heart." Firewood, rice, oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar, tea, three meals a day correspond to the four seasons. The food carrying the smoke of firework is the most soothing to the human heart. Hello everyone, I am Xiaofeng. Summer inherits the vitality of spring and contains the maturity of autumn, but it shows the spirit of summer. Its beauty lies in its vitality and heat; in the sunshine and the coolness of the showers; in an old popsicle, a piece of Watermelon is about fresh vegetables and fruits, and I am obsessed with it. It is the new apricot that is unique to June and July. Apricots are very seasonal. You must eat them as soon as you find them. If you miss them, you may have to wait a year. .
"apricot" is a knowing word, from wood to mouth, indicating that apricot is a tree with edible fruits, and apricot is an alkaline fruit . "The apricots hang lightly at the bottom of the leaves, and the branches are thin and silky." This is the small, green appearance of the apricots; as time goes by, the apricots have become half-ripe, that is, "the apricots are yellow and half-ripe on the branches, next to the wall, the wind blows "The flowers are fragrant for a while"; then all the apricots turn red, "the plums are green and the apricots are red, and the lotus leaves around the city are blown by the wind", all the beauty and comfort are in it; wait for the apricots to be fully ripe, "the plums are golden, the apricots are fat, and the wheat flowers are white Cauliflower is thin", what a beautiful rural painting.
There are many varieties of apricots, which can be divided into bitter apricots and drunken apricots. The almonds of bitter apricots are bitter and can be used as medicine. The almonds of drunken apricots are sweet and delicious, but whether they are bitter apricots or drunken apricots, they are very rich in nutrients, including protein. The content accounts for 23~27%, crude fat accounts for 50~60%, and carbohydrates account for 10%. It also contains high levels of carotene, thiamine, riboflavin, calcium, potassium, phosphorus and other trace elements necessary for the human body. Apricots are sour and sweet, warm in nature, and have the effects of moistening the lungs, relieving asthma, promoting body fluids and quenching thirst, and beautifying skin.
As a highly seasonal fruit, apricots generally have a shelf life of about half a month, so those who like them must hurry up. After this period, when the apricots are ripe, they will automatically fall off the tree. Waste, leaving the wonderful taste of apricots. We usually make fresh apricots into preserved apricots, canned sugar water, dried apricots, apricot jam, apricot juice, apricot wine, apricot plums, apricot plums, and apricot pills. Skin, etc., no matter how you prepare it, it is very nutritious and delicious! But I have a special liking for apricot jam. The prepared apricot jam is sour and sweet. It is refreshing and appetizing to soak in water and drink in summer. Let’s take a look at the specific method.
1. Apricots are relatively cheap fruits. Everyone can afford them at 1 yuan per pound here. Buy more while they are cheap. Pick out the bad and rotten fruits, clean them and soak them in light salt water for 20 minutes. It's disinfection.
2. Cut the cleaned apricots in half along the groove, then take out the almonds, and then cut each half of the apricots in half.
3. Put the cut apricots into a large basin, then add white sugar in a ratio of 10:1, that is, add 1 pound of white sugar to 10 pounds of apricots, stir well and marinate for 2 hours. The purpose is to allow the apricots to fully absorb the flavor and taste. The pectin is released, and the water in the apricots is also released, which will make them taste better.
4. After 2 hours, we pour the apricots and the pectin into the pot together. If you like them to be delicate, you can use a juicer to crush them. If you like them to be grainy, just pour them in directly. Take a lemon and cut it in half, and add the juice. Squeeze it into the pot, being careful not to drop the lemon seeds, otherwise it will be bitter. Lemon juice can prevent corrosion and increase the taste.Then add 1000 grams of rock sugar (10 pounds of apricots) and slowly simmer over medium heat. This process is generally long and takes about 40 minutes. Stir with a shovel from time to time to prevent sticking to the pan. Wait until the shovel can be pushed. When the resistance is high, and the apricots turn into a sticky jam-like shape, turn off the heat, put them into a bowl, let them cool, then put them into a water-free and oil-free glass bottle, seal them and put them in the refrigerator for storage, and take them as you go. , especially convenient! You can eat it directly with a spoon, or you can soak it in water and drink it. You can also eat it with bread or make cakes. It is very delicious no matter how you eat it!
html In July, don’t be soft-hearted when encountering this unique fresh almond. It only has a trial period of more than ten days. You can cook it once and store it in the refrigerator. You can eat it when you want. It is very convenient! Gifts of roses, hand left lingering fragrance. I'm Xiaofeng. I like the food Xiaofeng shares. Don't forget to follow Foodie Fengzi!
