Cooking
Take plum crisp, slightly unripe. The bones should be well separated. I have plum varieties "ugorka", we call her that. But if it is correct, then it "Hungarian" ( Hungary at the Ukrainian Agordina). Cut along. It is necessary for us in order that the edges were as straight as possible, only with aesthetic considerations.
A bone hook.
Take out the bone, trying to keep the halves in half field, and the addition of formed drain.
Put the prepared plums in a bowl.
In a saucepan pour the sugar and fill it with water. Put it on the stove. Cook until the sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil.
Pour the plums and leave to cool down. After the first fill I leave for 10-12 hours.
Plums release a lot of its juice. That's what we need.
Plum shift with a slotted spoon into a colander. Syrup bring to boil again and pour plums. It is important that the syrup is not boiling, as it starts to boil. Leave it to cool down.
The procedure is repeated 7-8 times. I poured 8 times. So long to pour that sugar syrup has fully replaced the prune juice. The photo of plum filled the fourth time.
When, after the last fill plum has cooled, to shift them into a colander and drain off all the syrup. I leave for the night.
Boil syrup, pour into sterile jars and preserve. The syrup turns thick, sweet and sour. It can be used for pies, served with ice cream, pancakes and crepes. And just to add to the tea.
Plums stacked in the trays of the dryer. I dried in the drier at full capacity, 16 hours. Here are the plums are ready. They have the surface dry, well away from the pan, but the middle is soft.
Half of the resulting candied fruit, I decided to podkoptit at home. For this I used a regular pot in which we cook outdoors porridge or soup. Cover the inner side I wrapped in foil, so it is more snug.
Take any stand that can withstand temperatures and fits inside the pot.
Wrap the base with foil.
Put on a stand of plum.
At the bottom of the pot put a bit of wood chips.
Downloadable stand with plums.
Cover with a lid and put it on the stove. Fire is a great. After 10 minutes, turn off and leave the lid on for 15-20 minutes.
Open, take out the stand and remove the plums. Allow to cool, wrap in paper and put in a bowl with a lid or package. Stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
