012 Making jam

Zhang Yun sat on the pony and washed the cherries in the big pot. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info She went through the cherries with water several times, and by the way, she picked the cherry stems. Then I set up a shelf in the yard, put a sieve, and put the cherries on the sieve to drain the water.

At this time, Xiaofeng Xiaoxiu woke up, and the two little guys finished drinking the porridge and were busy saying that they wanted to help.

Zhang Yun took out the clay pots in the house, and two of them were about enough to put down the cherries, washed them, and put them aside to dry. There is no rock sugar at home, only white sugar is used to make do, Zhang Yun remembers that the ratio of white sugar to cherries is about 1:5. Lemons are indispensable to make sweet and sour jam, which is not available at home, but fortunately, there are very sour oranges on the side of the road outside the house, which can be used improvised, Zhang Yun picked some spare.

Everything was ready, and Zhang Yun began to make jam. She first cut the oranges into slices, then wrapped them in fine gauze and squeezed out the juices and put them in the newly bought bowl. At this time, the cherries on the sieve were almost dry, and she used pointed chopsticks to pound out the kernels one by one. This step is very cumbersome and time-consuming, but the method is simple, use chopsticks to pound the middle of the cherry, and the core will come out. Fortunately, there was Xiaofeng Xiaoxiu, and the two little guys followed Zhang Yun to the cherry pit with great interest. It took the three siblings a lot of time to complete this step.

Then it's time to show off the technique, and there are still thirty catties of cherries that have been pitted, and they can't fit in one pot. Zhang Yun divided the cherries into two pots, mixed them well with orange water, put the sugar in them, stirred them well, and finally added water to spread over the cherries. When that's done, start the fire. The fire should not be too big, medium heat is better, this step makes Zhang Yun a little difficult, after all, when pouring these in the past, a gas stove was used, and the size of the fire can be set.

As the temperature rises, the sugar gradually melts away, and a layer of foam appears on the water surface, and Zhang Yun scoops off the foam from time to time. After a while, the water in the pot boiled, and a sweet smell spread. Xiaofeng Xiaoxiu looked at the cherries in the pot, and her saliva almost flowed down.

Looking at his younger brothers and sisters funny, Zhang Yun took two large bowls and filled two bowls. I found two more bowls, and poured out half of one of them and divided it into two portions. One of the bowls she was going to give to Hongmei, Hongmei's family has helped her a lot in the past few days, and it just so happened that she also knew that Hongmei had a little nephew today. Zhang Yun is a soul who values love and righteousness inside, and if others treat her well, she will definitely return it

Xiaofeng Xiaoxiu didn't care about the heat, so she quickly ate it. The sweet and sour taste immediately captured the two little guys, and Xiaoxiu exclaimed: "It's so delicious." Xiao Feng took a bite and said to Zhang Yun: "Eldest sister, can I call Gua Dan'er." We still have so much, and the grandfather of the melon eggs that we didn't eat before gave us a nest to eat. ā€

Seeing Zhang Yun nodding, Xiao Feng cheered and immediately ran out. Xiaoxiu also stopped the spoon and said crisply: "Then I'll wait for my brother to come back and eat it." ā€

Zhang Yun simply scooped out another big bowl and put it aside. Next, to mash the cherries, she turned out the heat, smashed the cherries directly in the pot with an inverted hammer, added the same amount of sugar, and boiled. This time, there was less water in the pot, and Zhang Yun had to stir while cooking.

At this time, Xiao Feng led Gua Dan'er over, and Gua Dan'er shouted "Sister Yun" from afar. Zhang Yun responded, beckoned them over, divided a part and put it on the bench, and said, "Come, melon eggs, try your Sister Yun's craftsmanship." The restraint of Gua Dan'er immediately dissipated a lot.

Xiao Feng pulled the melon egg and said, "Look, this is the sugar water cherry made by my eldest sister, it's delicious!" The melon egg picked up the spoon, scooped a spoonful and put it in his mouth, and swallowed it reluctantly for a long time. But he stopped eating two spoonfuls and said to Zhang Yun: "Sister Yun, can I bring the rest back? My grandfather has never eaten such a delicious sugar water." ā€

This little guy is quite filial, Zhang Yun smiled: "Eat, there are more, and there will be one for your grandfather when I go back later." When Gua Dan'er heard this, a smiling face flushed happily: "Great, thank you, Sister Yun." ā€

The cherry jam in the pot was almost formed, Zhang Yun scooped it out a little and took a look, turned off the heat, put it in the clay pot while it was hot, and tightened the lid and tightened it.

Zhang Yun instructed Xiaofeng not to run around at home, and then filled a bowl of sweet water cherries in a bamboo basket and went to Hongmei's house. Hongmei's house is on the edge of the village, not particularly far from Zhang Yun's house. When Zhang Yun arrived, he saw Hongmei coming from home.

Hongmei smiled: "I'm still going out to hunt pigweed, it seems that I will have to wait a while before I go." She has always had no taboos with Zhang Yun, and she talks very casually.

Zhang Yun raised his hand: "There are still a lot of cherries at home, I made some sugar water, and brought a bowl for you to taste, see how it goes." "The rest of the cherries belong to Zhang Yun, Li Laohan and Hongmei have no opinion, after all, it is because of Zhang Yun that they have won a lot of money for nothing.

Entering the yard, Aunt Zhang and Grandma Zhang were picking vegetables, Li Yue'er was sitting on the side embroidering handkerchiefs, and Xiao Risheng was squatting on the side to watch the ants play. Seeing Zhang Yun coming, he was busy getting up to say hello, and Xiao Risheng jumped up and called, "Sister Yun." ā€

It seems that this family really takes care of the original owner. Zhang Yun responded one by one with a smile, and then said, "How is Aunt Zhang?" I made sugar water for everyone to taste. With that, he brought out a bowl of sugar water from the bamboo basket.

"It's an old problem, just rest for two days. You girl, bring something with you. Aunt Zhang sneered.

Zhang Yun spoke for a while, and then said goodbye and went home. Hongmei said: "I just want to go out, let's go together." The two of them happily went out together. Before parting, the two agreed to go to the mountains to catch fish together in two days.

Back at home, a few little ones were playing a little game together. There was still a bowl of half-sugar cherries left on the stove, but a few little guys had eaten their own share, and the obedient ones didn't touch the rest.

Seeing that the sky is already dark, the melon and the egg will go back. Zhang Yun wanted to bring back the remaining bowl of melon eggs. Don't live or die, and said, "My grandfather can't finish eating it." That's half a bowl, it's a lot, and you haven't eaten it yet, Sister Yun. Zhang Yun sighed at his well-behavedness, so he divided the sugar level into two parts and asked the melon and eggs to take back one portion. Gua Dan'er thanked him and said, "Sister Yun, I'll send the bowl back tomorrow." With that, he carefully took the bowl and went back.

Zhang Yun also filled a small bowl of sugar water, which was indeed delicious. After eating, the stove was cleaned up. Zhang Yun moved the clay pot to the house and put it away. She has her own plans for these jams, and that day she saw that the dim sum in Ruyi Pavilion was very expensive, and she was going to make some dim sum to sell, after all, she used to go online a lot, and she also liked to cook food, and she had a lot of food preparation methods in her head.
