How to dry sweet potato candy?

The process of making this kind of candy is not complicated, and most people can make it. However, it will take a lot of time, it tastes like a thousand cakes, and the raw materials are relatively simple, just our common sweet potato. However, if you want to make a special candy, you should pay great attention to the selection of materials. Sweet potatoes in late autumn must be frosted, because at that time, the temperature difference between day and night was large and there were many sweet potatoes, so the harvested sweet potatoes could not be cooked immediately. Choose potatoes with white skin and red hearts with uniform size and relatively large size, spread them for more than one month, so that the starch can be fully converted into fructose and glucose, so that the candy made from cowhide is sweet enough.

After the heavy snow, the flies basically hibernate, because the candy has a high sugar content. At this time, the boiled candy will not be bitten by flies, which meets the hygiene requirements. Pay attention to the weather forecast at this time. If we know from the weather forecast that it will be sunny for more than four days, that is the best time to make candy. Get up at dawn in the morning, put the sweet potatoes selected before into the pot, add water, cook them on the firewood until they are 90% ripe, and pick them up and push them away. At this time, there were many people, at least three or four people. One peeled the chips specially, the other sliced them into squares with a thickness of half a centimeter, and the other arranged the chips quickly and neatly on the bamboo mat or bamboo plaque, and ate them before noon as soon as possible. One can't be crowded and the other can't overlap. When the sun is 90% dry, put it in a pot and steam it for an hour, then take it out and air it again. When the sun is 90% dry, steam it in the pot for an hour, then take it out and air it again, so that the candy is ready. The whole body is transparent, chewed in the mouth, and the taste of biting is getting sweeter and sweeter. That kind of sweetness, only those who have eaten it, can't be described in words.

It seems to take a lot of effort, but it is not that simple to make delicious candy. There was nothing to eat at home when I was a child. Every family will grow a lot of sweet potatoes, because sweet potatoes are easy to grow and can also be used as food. Sweet potatoes were often eaten when I was a child. Every winter, my mother will choose sweet potatoes early, and we greedily look forward to the day when we sun the candy. This feeling is unforgettable so far. Now, although the conditions are good and everything is available, my mother will still bake the rice cakes every winter. Whenever she receives a candy from her mother, she can't wait to open it, bite hard and close her eyes, and it still smells the same. No matter where we are, the delicious candy from the countryside will always be in our hearts, just as my mother cares about us. Now that my mother is old, I don't know how many times I can eat her candy. That's why my mother still insists on cooking that kind of sugar every year. She told her mother several times not to cook, but she did it with a smile, because she also knew that once I ate my mother's candy, I would lose it once. I hope I can eat the candy in my heart every year, but I still bite it hard and chew it slowly. It's sweet and sweet.
