What is the drying method of red bayberry preserves?
Choose the right weather: it is best to choose sunny, dry, windless or breezy weather to dry the preserved bayberry fruit, which is conducive to the evaporation of water and prevent the preserved bayberry fruit from getting wet or blown away by the wind. At the same time, avoid drying in rainy or humid weather, otherwise preserved bayberry fruits are prone to mildew. Prepare drying tools: it is necessary to prepare some tools for drying preserved bayberry fruits, such as drying rack, drying net, drying basin and so on.
Finally, there is the drying process. Spread the pickled bayberry flat on a baking pan or clean gauze, put it in a preheated oven and dry it slowly at a low temperature. The drying temperature and time should be adjusted flexibly according to the specific conditions to avoid bayberry being scorched or not dry. Usually, the drying temperature is between 60 and 70 degrees Celsius and the time is 4 to 6 hours. Dried bayberry candied fruit should be translucent, tough but not hard, sweet but not greasy.
Step 2: then soak the dried bayberry in cold water for half an hour, remove and drain, soak the dried bayberry again in sugar water that is preheated and then cooled for a day. The ratio of sugar to water is one to three. Step 3: put the soaked dried bayberry in a glass container, sprinkle white sugar or black sugar layer by layer, and leave it at room temperature for three days. If you want to preserve preserved dried bayberry for a long time, we need to put it in the refrigerator and refrigerate it.
Bottle and taste, cool and put into a clean container and store in a dry place away from light. The above is the whole process of making preserved bayberry. You can freely adjust the seasoning according to your taste, or you can add richer ingredients such as lemon and raisins. However, it should be noted that hygiene should be paid attention to in the production process, and the treatment and cleaning of red bayberry should be done before production.
Can ants grow mushrooms and dry honey?
1. Termites mainly collect plants or wood fibers to grow fungi (that is, mushrooms). In addition to planting fungi, some species of ants also engage in animal husbandry and protect grazing aphids to get their honeydew.
2. B, "there are about 200 species of ants on earth that have the ability to grow mushroom fungi." the word "about" means "probably, estimated." C. "almost all animals on earth except human beings are afraid of fire" means "almost all". D, "they only took 40 seconds to put out the fire" means "it takes a short time".
3. Leaf cutters in South America also grow mushrooms. They bite fresh leaves from trees, drag them back to the planting room in the ant nest, crush the leaves and pile them into a pile, which is used as a culture medium, and then grow a special kind of small mushroom on it, just like people cultivate mushrooms indoors. Mature mushrooms become the main food for leaf cutters. Ants are not only talented "planting experts", but also dexterous "architects".
