Chapter 521 Canning

Tomb sweeping and tomb worship are ways to show respect to ancestors.

In the north, it is called "going to the grave", in some places, tomb sweeping is called "sweeping the mountain" or "worshiping the mountain", and in some areas of the south, it is called "hanging the mountain" or "hanging paper".

There are two types of "mountains" to worship: one is the ancestors within three generations from parents, called "family mountain", and worshiping the family mountain is called "family sacrifice".

The other is the worship of clan ancestors, called "ancestor mountain" or "public mountain". Worshiping the ancestor mountain is called "sweeping the public mountain".

Tomb sweeping and ancestor worship express the worshiper's filial piety and longing for the ancestors, and respect for the ancestors and the memory of the deceased.

According to custom, tomb sweeping usually starts in the morning. When sweeping tombs, people should bring wine, food, fruits, and paper money to the cemetery, repair the tombs, add new soil, and remove weeds. They offer food in front of the ancestors' tombs, burn the paper money, kowtow and perform worship rituals.

It was already past eight in the morning, and since there were no ready-made tributes at home today, Jiang Huaibei gave up the idea of ​​going up the mountain.

After my younger brothers had finished washing up, I finished washing up with the help of Lin Duofu.

Drink porridge.

After more than 3 months, I was lying in bed at home again.

I miss the innocence of my childhood.

I also look forward to a future that is upright and lofty.

There was a gentle breeze and I fell asleep quickly.

The first one to wake up was Jiang Xiu, who was thinking about the fruits on the trees outside.

Jiang Xiu had already figured out how to make dried apricots and jam.

Apricots moisten the lungs, quench thirst, promote salivation, and reduce phlegm. They taste sweet and sour and are juicy.

However, apricots have thin skin and are easily bruised and damaged, so making apricot jam from it has therapeutic effects.

But the most suitable is dried apricots.

Apricot jam can be stored for a long time if it is sealed and refrigerated. If it cannot be refrigerated, its shelf life will be relatively short.

Dried apricots are a very popular snack that is not only delicious but also easy to prepare.

The first step is to select and clean?

Choose fresh, unripe apricots without worm holes, and make sure they are easy to cut.

Wash the apricots and drain well.

The second step is to remove the core and slice.

Split the apricots in half, remove the pits, and slice further.

The third step is pickling.

Put the cut apricot slices into a bowl, add appropriate amount of granulated sugar, mix well and marinate for a while to allow the apricot slices to fully absorb the sugar and release some water.

The fourth step is cooking.

Pour the pickled apricot slices and sugar water into the pot, heat over medium-low heat, and stir from time to time to prevent the bottom from getting sticky.

Bring to a boil, then cook for about 30 seconds before turning off the heat.

Letting the apricot slices soak in sugar water for a while will make them more flavorful.

The last step is drying?

Remove the apricot slices from the syrup and drain.

Then place the apricot slices in the sun until dry.

Place the dried apricots in a cool place to cool.

Then store in a clean, airtight container to protect it from moisture.

It can also be canned.

For canning, you need slightly firmer apricots.

Add a little salt to the water and soak for more than 10 minutes.

Take the nuclear backup.

Add clean water to the pot, pour the apricots into the pot and add rock sugar.

Bring to a boil and cook for four to six minutes, then transfer to canning jars.

Jiang Xiu made canned food many times with her second brother and sister-in-law in the past few years.

Canned tomatoes and eggplants, canned tomatoes.

Canned pears, canned apples.

It can be said without hesitation that you can do it with your eyes closed.

Now it’s the same as making canned apricots, so I called all the kids in the family.

Each person brings one piece of furniture.

Go out to the yard and pick some fruit first.
