Candied cucumbers and zucchini

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Now I want to cook a pumpkin like that. Will it work?

[Tatyana]

TatyanaI think it will work out, only there will be little juice and you will have to cook the syrup.

[Veronica]

For technical reasons Veronica cannot exhibit his masterpieces, at her request I do it for her. Help yourself, candied zucchini. The zucchini were yellow and green, it turned out bright and very tasty, the skin did not peel off, since the zucchini were young.

[Veronica]

Veronica, oooh,! This is beauty !!! Super! Can't you feel the skin?
Galina Iv., clever girl that helped out Veronica! When will you show yours?

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, tell me, is it necessary to blanch with soda? What does it give?

[Lina]

What does it give?

From explanations Lina in a neighboring thread:

This makes it easier to soak in the syrup and then dry. In addition, they then keep their shape well, do not fall apart into porridge.

[Crochet]

Crochet, thanks, I haven't reached her yet

[Inna]

Inna, Thank you!
Irina, soda reduces the cooking and prescribing time, so the fruits do not boil down into trash.

my husband came to drink coffee, took a spoon and ... In short, very tasty.

😂😂😂😂 just like about mine. I read it and laughed. Mine is the same.



Girls who made such goodies in the oven? How long and at what temperature?

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Lina! Last year, there was no time for candied zucchini ... But this year there are no cherries, plums and apples!
I decided to put huge zucchini on candied fruits. I had to peel off the crust ... But the candied fruits turned out to be excellent! I will repeat again

[Valyushka]

Valyushka, Val, I sold great - and in baked goods, and in tea, and on cakes, and in cheesecakes, and like candy ... Mmmmm

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Lina! Once again I want to thank you for the recipe! Candied fruits were incredibly popular! Everyone asked: will you do this this year? And my zucchini was not tied in any way. Well, now, thank God, I've collected seven pieces, already healthy even, I'll start making candied fruits for the joy of those close to me. Nobody even believes that this is from zucchini. Only now everyone is lazy, and they themselves do not want to do ... they are waiting for mine

[Silyavka]

Silyavka, I did it in the oven. With the door ajar, my temperature is 70-100 grams. Depending on this and the thickness of the sliced ​​zucchini, it took 2-3 hours before drying and the same amount after turning and cooling.

Thanks for your reply, we have already bought a dryer.

Girls, of course, can be dried in the oven, just turn it over, preferably several times. And so they get good, somewhat different than in the dryer, drier or something inside. But it's still delicious!

[Linadoc, Lina]

Linadoc, Lina , thank you very much for the recipe, it turned out very tasty from cucumbers, now zucchini is next in line

[Tatyana]

Tatyana, I'm glad that everything worked out! They come out super-duper from zucchini. In life, you can't guess what. Usually it is assumed that this is papaya, only tastier, more aromatic.

Lina, I made candied fruits from watermelon peels based on your recipe. the first pancake seems to be not lumpy) but I just don't understand if I've dried it enough or need more. I'm terribly afraid of mold
By the way, I liked them still raw) while they put them in the dryer, they hugged them) but my husband did not like it. then when I turned them over in the dryer, they practically dried up. my husband dragged a few, I look still dragging on. laughs - now you can eat))
of course, of course, there are no zucchini of their own - there were 4 pieces over the summer and they let them caviar, I'll probably go to the bazaar to my grandmothers for zucchini)



Lin, I have another question - what volume of syrup bottles do you use? I ran around our stores - only the big ones are.I do not remember what volume there is - a liter or one and a half from my watermelons, the syrup was closed in half-liter ordinary jars. but my heart senses - it will be inconvenient to use them later) but do not pour out)

I read everything. I think that's it. I have to buy zucchini and then I start rubbing the carrots for drying and I understand - that's what candied fruits still need to be made juicy. sweet. orange. beautiful. delicious! Girls. I will additionally stock up on zucchini and carrots for these candied fruits, thanks for the recipe!

[Svetlana-cat]

just don't understand if I've dried enough or need more

Zhen, they need to be dry on the outside and soft on the inside. In general, so elastic. Then you roll them in powdered sugar, it will create a protective film on their surface against mold. And at first, you can cover the jar with parchment, and after a month, with a plastic lid.

how much syrup bottles do you use?

0.25L juice container with screw caps.
Svetlana-cat, with carrots are excellent. I cut it into circles 0.5-0.7 cm thick and then follow the recipe.

and a month later, with a plastic lid.

... it is unlikely that a plastic lid is needed, such a yummy may simply not live up to it

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, yesterday morning I got out of the dryer - it was not clear whether they were ready or not. lay down for a day. came in the evening - they cooled down, ventilated. I rolled the condition that was necessary, transferred it to the jar. Along the way, she fought off her husband's hands - aaaaaaa, I tasted it! and then - fuuu, we fed pigs with watermelon rinds. Well, well, then I also poured the syrup into the jars. left a little. she diluted with water. lemonade came out
morning phone photo)

I don’t have such bottles, and apparently I won’t find them ... I’ll roll in half a liter)

so so so, from here in more detail! from carrots is also possible ??? read out the entire list! cucumbers, zucchini, pumpkin, carrots ...
what spices are better for carrots?

this morning I put a new batch of stew - with mint. the smell is amazing!

Svetlana-cat, most likely, yes, chew a little, take to work with you, so there are no candied fruits), especially since my batch weight was limited by the number of crusts from one watermelon. and also the volume of the pan. my five-liter ones are no good, you need to buy some kind of vat, otherwise almost all pickles have to be halved in recipes or cooked in 2-3 approaches in parts

Yes from pears with zucchini also, it is also possible from cherries, plums, melons, beets, peaches, apricots, cranberries. Here it is necessary to look at what is available. For example, I have a load of zucchini, pumpkins, pears, carrots, beets, plums. I have them for free and in large quantities. Therefore from them. Variations - with berries , with mint, with lemon, with orange, with basil, with apples.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, but what happened to me
Made with vanilla and cherry juice. Very tasty, I go and carry it by piece.

[Silyavka]

Silyavka, oooh! This is the color! Cool!

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, and how delicious, my husband came home from work and with tea straight gnawed with a spoon, asked where we got such delicious marmalade. I myself cannot tear myself away.

[Elena]

Elena, and tasty and healthy, and zucchini are attached! Three in one!

Three more zucchini left, will go there too.

And in my "vegetable jam" almost all the remaining 8 pieces have gradually disappeared Leaves at a breakneck speed, I have to cook in barrels

Linochka, where can I see the recipe?

Recipe vegetable jam here... In general, you click on the house under my ava and you get into my profile. And there you find a bunch of useful recipes

Linochka, thank you very much. You (nothing, what am I?) Always have delicious recipes.

I got hooked on these vegetable jams this year! Highly recommend!
And with candied fruits flew, no dryer here ... last year I did a lot, my husband liked it and my nephew.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, Linochka, tell me, when you make candied fruits from carrots, does it become transparent? I only got it brighter and that's it)

No, it does not become transparent. The same dense and yes, bright.

[Linadoc]

Linadoc, thanks already dry. let's see if you like it)



Linochka, I would never have thought that such wonderful candied fruits would turn out from carrots! thanks for the tip! and I'm also surprised how much juice they have after adding sugar) they look almost like dried apricots)

Thank you very much for the recipe! I dried the zucchini, it turned out sooooo tasty!

[Irina]

Irina, I am glad that the zucchini are not gone and the family is happy! Cook for health!

Belated THANKS for the recipe !!! registered) to tell you it! processed a large pile of overgrown zucchini (if not for your recipe, 100% would be lost). One minus - the child did not appreciate ... but the rest are all delighted. I added blackberry berries to one batch for the color .. very beautiful candied fruits came out I arranged quiz guesses (and few people guessed what it was)))) But absolutely everyone liked the taste! gone - like seeds. And with tea and cognac: victory: The mother-in-law promised a big harvest of zucchini next year! I will definitely cook it! thanks again for the masterpiece!

[Lga]

Lga, I'm glad the recipe went to work! And vegetables are not gone, and people are happy and useful!

[Linadoc]

Sprinkle the cubes with sugar with 0.5 tsp. citric acid, mix and leave to give juice for 1.5-2 hours.

Linadoc, Lina, is it possible to skip this point and cook it in syrup right away? It's just that I have 2 liters of syrup from last year in the basement, and now there are 3 liters in the refrigerator. He did not go with us anyway. It's a pity to translate sugar.

[Silyavka]

Silyavka, without sugar and syrup candied fruits do not cook, they are soaked in syrup.

[5 liters]

syrup

I have accumulated in total 5 liters ... I'm going to cook them in syrup. I asked if it was possible not to fill the zucchini with sugar, but immediately boil it in syrup.

[Silyavka]

SilyavkaAs far as I understand, sprinkle with sugar in order for the zucchini to release their juice first. And then you can add your syrup and boil it. The classic of the genre is as follows. But you can try to boil it in syrup right away. And compare.

[Olga]

Olga, I have the syrup left from the preparation of these candied fruits, did not do much last year for testing, and this year as much as 8 kilograms of zucchini. There is a lot of syrup left, so I wonder if it is possible to cook in this syrup right away without expelling excess sugar. And Girls have me on "you".

[Silyavka]

Silyavka, Linen! I understand you well. I, too, have unused syrup from past zucchini. Only no one will give you the go-ahead for this experiment under his own responsibility. Pay attention: Admin also always has the same algorithm when drying fruit. First, cover with sugar to extract the juice from raw fruits (zucchini). Admin sometimes even says that we don't use this juice further when withering. The same algorithm with the extraction of her juice and Lina. But! You can conduct an experiment on your own responsibility. And then you will report to us. We will gladly follow the same path. At least Lina can use this juice to make syrup. And that's the savings. So go for it!

I make several servings with one syrup
I renew only citrus fruits and a little sugar if necessary. After boiling with soda, they already release excess water and decrease.

[Irochka]

Irochka, thank you very much, we don't drink syrup and I won't attach it anywhere (as it is not to our taste, the taste of zucchini is felt), but the candied fruit just go with a bang (if you don't say it, then no one guesses from what they are made of).

Correctly girls say - try it! Then you will tell me And my syrup goes well, soak the biscuit, beat the curd, into the compote, with soda.

[Linadoc]

try it!

Linadoc, oh girls, I still can't try, yesterday I broke a jar of cucumbers (put it in the basement), cut my hand, damaged a vein (stitched), I can't do anything (it hurts to move my hand), and the zucchini are prepared 6 kilograms, cleaned, cut ....

left hand, for some reason the computer unfolded a photo.
