What is the so-called sweet preserved apricots?
Sweet preserved apricots is a distinctive fruit juice made from apricots, based on the unique Vietnamese fruit-preserving method.
Apricot is a fruit belonging to the genus Prunus that originated in China roughly 4,00 years ago and first appeared in English in the 16th century through the Silk Road. Nowadays, apricots are widely cultivated in many regions around the world. The fruit is widely used in many products, including juice.
Another ingredient of the beverage is sugar which is used in the apricot-soaking process. Sugar helps make the beverage’s taste and flavor impressive to consume.
Sugar-Preserved Apricots offers a sweet, light sour taste and crispy fruit. The drink blends well with the sourness of apricots fruit and the sweetness of sugar. As a result, juice is one of the most attractive beverages to enjoy.
How to make sweet preserved apricots?
Apricot juice preserved in sugar is a delicious and healthy drink. You can completely make your own sugar preserved apricots at home for daily use by following the below steps:
Step 1: Pick ingredients
What you need to make sweet preserved apricots include:
- 1kg of fresh apricots (should choose smooth and round apricots, reddish-yellow color)
- 500g sugar
- 100g of granulated salt
- 1 clean glass jar and estimate the volume of the jar so that after pouring the soaked apricots in, there is 5cm left.
Step 2: Prepare ingredients
Prepare ingredients by removing bruised or mushy apricots.
Then bring the apricots to soak with diluted salt water for the purpose of cleaning the fluff and disinfecting.
After about an hour, if you notice that the outer hair of the apricot has fallen off, you should take it out and drain the water.
Use a toothpick to remove the stem of the apricot, or you can also soak the apricot in clear lime water to make the apricot crunchier.
Step 3: Process ingredients
Thoroughly rinse the glass jar with hot water and dry it thoroughly.
Next, spread a layer of sugar to cover the bottom of the jar about 2cm, then spread a layer of apricots and continue to pour sugar into the water 1cm.
Repeat these steps until the sugar and plums are about 5cm from the mouth of the jar.
The way to keep the mouth of the bottle like that is so that when the apricots ferment, there will be space for the gas to fly out, and the jar will not be broken.
Step 4: Finished Products
Add 1 pinch of salt to the jar before closing the lid to prevent the apricots from turning yellow.
However, be careful not to give too much because salt will make the sweetness sharper, and the water brackish.
Once the lid is closed, place the jar in a cool place.
When soaking, you should occasionally use chopsticks to stir the sugar that has accumulated at the bottom of the jar.
After a period of about 1 month, when the dream has shriveled and emerged, it means you have done the right recipe.
