Detailed Steps for Making Must-Have After the Festival – Easy Lemon Paste Recipe

Prepare more rock sugar and crush some of it. I didn’t weigh it because it doesn’t matter if it’s a little sweeter. After it’s cooked, add some water. I personally think that the brown rock sugar is better, which can be found in bulk at the supermarket and is more cost-effective.

Prepare more lemons, and after making them, you can put them in the refrigerator. Since I’m the only one at home, I only made five or six.

Scrub the lemons repeatedly with a brush. I always feel that the lemons sold outside have been waxed, so I scrub them with salt and soak them for about ten minutes. After they’re done, I take them out and dry them with kitchen paper, which is efficient and easy, haha.

Now let’s start slicing. Cut the lemon into even slices, leaving out the head and tail and the skin, which affects the taste.

Remove all the seeds from the lemon slices.

I used an electric pressure cooker, which is more convenient. Put some rock sugar at the bottom and lay a layer of lemon slices on top.

Just layer the rock sugar and lemon slices, and if you have the ingredients, add Fritillaria powder and dried tangerine peel for better health. I made this on a whim and didn’t have any, so I didn’t add them.

Put a little more rock sugar on the top layer.

Press the soup button and you’re done.

It’s best to make this at night and let it sit overnight.

With Fritillaria powder and dried tangerine peel, the color will be darker. Actually, it’s better to use a double boiler, but it takes too long and is too much trouble. This method is simple and convenient, especially for moms with kids at home.

Store the finished lemon paste in a glass bottle. Make sure to clean and dry the bottle in advance, and use a smaller one if possible. Open one bottle at a time. Also, make sure the spoon you use to scoop it out is clean and oil-free.

Then just add warm water to make it. If you like it sweeter, you can add some honey. Warm water won’t destroy the nutritional components of honey.

The world is big, but happiness is small. A family that is neat and tidy, healthy, and happy together is the ideal life.​
