Pumpkin candy"Tenderness"

This homemade pumpkin candy tastes like flower honey with a subtle nutty note and a lovely spicy aroma.

Ingredients are based on 24 candies.

Composition:

• 200 grams of ready-made pumpkin puree;
• 1 glass of milk;
• 1 cup of sugar;
• 50 grams of butter;
• 1 teaspoon vanilla sugar
• 100 grams of chopped nuts (walnuts, almonds, hazelnuts);
• ¼ teaspoon of salt;
• 1 tablespoon cocoa
• ½ teaspoon cinnamon
• on the tip of a knife of ground ginger.

Cooking method:

1. First you need to make pumpkin puree. To do this, take 400 grams of pumpkin, and cut into small pieces without removing the skin. Then we put our cubes on a baking sheet and put in the oven to bake. It should be baked until the pumpkin is soft at a temperature of 200 degrees.
2. When the pumpkin is ready, cool it a little, remove the skin, and beat it in a blender until puree forms. If you don't have a blender at hand, then you can thoroughly knead the pumpkin with a fork.
3. Put the resulting puree in a deep frying pan with a thick bottom, add milk, vanillin, vanilla sugar, a pinch of salt and mix everything properly. Place the pan over high heat and bring to a boil.
4. When the mass has boiled, we make the fire to a minimum and so we cook for another 35-40 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5. Gradually, our workpiece will begin to boil down and caramelize. It is important to stir continuously at this stage so that the mass does not burn. The mixture is ready when it begins to resemble marmalade and it becomes easy to lag behind the pan.
6. We remove the pan from the stove, add butter, a third of chopped nuts, cinnamon, ginger to the mixture, and mix everything thoroughly until a homogeneous mass is obtained.
7. Place the candy mass in a bowl, cool and refrigerate for two hours.
8. Mix the rest of the ground nuts with cocoa.
9. We take out our cooled candy mass, and begin to form candies (balls) from it. We make one candy from one teaspoon of the mixture. Each ball obtained is well dipped in cocoa - nut mixture.
10. Transfer the resulting sweets to a dish and put in the refrigerator.

2. When the pumpkin is cooked, drain the water, cool and beat in a blender until a mushy consistency. You can also pass the boiled pumpkin through a strainer.
3. Grind the oatmeal to flour using a coffee grinder or blender. Alternatively, you can immediately take oatmeal or bran.
4. We also grind the cookies into small crumbs. Alternatively, you can take a biscuit, waffles, gingerbread, sweet crackers.
5. Add the resulting oatmeal to the pumpkin puree and mix thoroughly. Let it brew for half an hour so that the oatmeal has time to absorb the pumpkin juice and swell properly.
6. Then add the chopped cookies and mix everything again.
7. After that, add honey to the total mass. For people allergic to honey, you can use wedge syrup, molasses, or condensed milk instead. It is also worth trying as an alternative to linden honey, because it is hypoallergenic.
8. Then add softened butter and brandy. Instead of brandy, you can use rum, whiskey, gin. Naturally, if you are making sweets for children, then no alcohol.
9. It is necessary to knead the candy mass until smooth. Then put finely chopped walnuts in it.
10. Again, mix everything thoroughly and add the orange zest, previously grated on a fine grater.
11. Once again, knead the mass well, and put it in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, remembering to stir it every 10 minutes. This must be done so that the mass solidifies evenly, and from it it was possible to mold balls - future sweets. If suddenly the candy mass seems too thick to you, you can add a little orange juice to it.
12. When the mixture has frozen enough, we begin to form small candy balls out of it. Then dip them in coconut. We put our sweetness on a dish and put it in the refrigerator for an hour.
13. After 20-30 minutes, our desserts are ready to eat. Such delicious and healthy pumpkin sweets can be served with tea or warm milk.

Required Ingredients

Pumpkin has long been known to us as a source of vitamins and microelements necessary for the body. Everyone knows how useful this fruit is. We are used to or canning, so that later we can use it as an addition to stews, cereals, casseroles. But candied pumpkin fruits seem to be something unusual. But in vain, because their taste is very delicate, they literally melt in your mouth.

Almost any pumpkin variety is suitable for candied fruits, except for decorative (they do not have enough pulp) and fodder, the pulp of which is tough and fresh. The main thing is that the fruits are ripe, well ripe. The sweetest and tastiest, they are also called "porridge", can be recognized by their bright orange color. But even if you don't have any, any will do. You just need to take a little more sugar.

Candied pumpkin can easily replace any candy

In addition to pumpkin pulp, for making candied fruits you will need sugar, water, aromatic spices (vanillin, cinnamon, cloves and others). Powdered sugar is often used to decorate the treats. It will come in handy if the pumpkin chosen for cooking is not bright enough.

Sugar can be replaced with honey - such candied fruits are even healthier. In addition, oranges and lemons can be added to the preparation to get a rich taste and bright aroma.

The classic recipe for candied pumpkin

There is nothing complicated in the preparation of candied fruits, but it will take a lot of time. But since the oven will help us, we can get it done faster.

For a classic recipe you will need:

• 1 kg of pumpkin pulp;
• 300 g of water;
• 1.2 kg of granulated sugar;
• 3 g citric acid;
• vanillin on the tip of a knife.

1. Peel the pumpkin. To do this, it is convenient to use a vegetable peeler: it carefully and thinly cuts off the strips of skin. If the pumpkin is too old and the skin is firm, it is best to use a sharp knife.

   

   Ripe sweet pumpkins of ‘porridge’ varieties are suitable for candied fruits.

2. Completely select the seed core. For work, you only need dense pulp.

   

   Peel and cut the pumpkin into pieces

3. Cut the peeled pumpkin into medium-sized cubes. They need to be blasted for 7 minutes in boiling water. Transfer them to cold water immediately afterwards to cool. Blanching is a short-term treatment of any food product with boiling water or steam. Unlike cooking, blanching does not lead to a loss of vitamins or flavor.

   

   Blanch the pumpkin in boiling water, then cool

4. In the meantime, prepare the candied fruit syrup. Add sugar, citric acid to a pot of water. Boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is completely dissolved.

   

   Make sugar syrup

5. The pumpkin pulp cubes are already cold. Transfer them to a fine sieve and wait for all the water to drain.

   

   Let the water drain completely

6. Place the pumpkin in a saucepan with syrup and simmer for 15 minutes over low heat, stirring gently to prevent the food from burning. After that, set aside the workpiece for 10 hours to infuse.

   

   Boil pumpkin pieces in syrup

7. Put the pan with the workpiece on low heat again, boil for 15 minutes and leave for another 10 hours.
8. On the third cooking, bring the pumpkin to a boil. Finally, add vanillin to the mixture.

   

   Pumpkin slices need to be boiled in syrup several times.

9. Place the boiled pumpkin cubes on a fine sieve. Wait for the syrup to drain completely. This will take about two hours.
10. Put the dried and chilled pumpkin slices in one row on a baking sheet and send to the oven, preheating it to 40 degrees, for about 3 hours.

    

    Spread the candied fruits on a baking sheet and dry for 2-3 hours

11. Remove the half-finished candied fruit from the oven for further processing.
12. Roll each piece in granulated sugar and put it again in one layer on a baking sheet. Keep the candied fruits in the oven until tender: they should be completely dry, not sticky to your hands.

Blanching is a short-term treatment of any food product with boiling water or steam. Unlike cooking, blanching does not lead to a loss of vitamins or flavor.

It is best to store candied fruits in glass containers.

Note! If you do not have an oven, then the candied fruit should be dried on waxed paper or parchment at room temperature and exposed to direct sunlight. It is advisable that the room in which the drying takes place is well ventilated.

Low-calorie honey treat

This recipe will appeal to lovers of sweets who keep an eye on their figure. Instead of sugar, which damages a slim waist, we use honey and fructose.

You will need the following products:

1. Peel the pumpkin and cut the flesh into cubes. Boil them over low heat, adding cinnamon.
2. Place the vegetable pieces on a paper towel and let dry.
3. Pour 2 cups of water into a saucepan, add fructose and honey. Wait for the ingredients to boil and dissolve. Fold the pumpkin slices into the syrup. Cook for 15-20 minutes over medium heat, then remove the pan from the stove. Future candied fruits should stand in syrup for a day.
4. Discard the pumpkin pieces in a colander or sieve, let the syrup drain completely. After that, spread the candied fruits on a baking sheet and send to the oven. Keep them until cooked at 40 degrees.

Due to the complete absence of sugar, such candied fruits are low in calories. But in taste and aroma, they are in no way inferior to a sugar dainty!

While the pumpkin is stewing, grind the cookies in a blender, or put them in a bag and roll them with a rolling pin.

Purée the stewed pumpkin with a blender, cool completely. Measure out 230 grams.

Grind the cream cheese, icing sugar and vanilla sugar into a smooth, homogeneous mass.

Combine cookies, pumpkin puree, butter, cinnamon and, if the cracker is not salty, a pinch of salt. Knead the dough well with a spoon, it turns out thick, plastic. Cover it with foil and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Form the cooled mass into candies, taking a full teaspoon and rolling into a ball the size of a walnut. Put the blanks in the refrigerator overnight, without covering anything, let them freeze and wind up a little!

Prepare a plate or board for future sweets by covering it with foil, a plastic bag, or covering it with a silicone mat. I took a cutting board and put a bag on it.
Break the chocolate into cubes, put it in a bowl and melt in the microwave or in a water bath (so that the container with chocolate does not touch the boiling water).
Stick a toothpick into the candy until about the middle. Dip the candies, one at a time, into the melted chocolate. It is more convenient and economical to coat the ball with chocolate with a culinary brush, removing excess chocolate.

Transfer the candy to a board or plate. Gently remove the toothpick while pressing down on the candy with a fork. Put a drop of chocolate on a toothpick and cover the hole in the candy. Until the chocolate has frozen, sprinkle the candy with sprinkles (nuts, shavings).
And so all the candy! We spread them at a distance from each other so as not to stick together!
Gently transfer the finished candies to the refrigerator so that the chocolate hardens well. Then, put them in a container with a lid and put them in the freezer for 2-3 hours. Now the sweets are ready! By the way, we will store them in the freezer, so the sweets are tastier !!!

Well, here we are! Get a few sweets from the freezer, let them warm for five minutes. In the meantime, I advise you to brew some tea, or brew some coffee, or splash some brandy ... And enjoy the unusual, delicious candies made by your own hands !!!

Ingredients

• For pumpkin puree:
• Pumpkin 360 g;
• Water 200 ml;
• Sugar 50 g;
• For sweets:
• Pumpkin puree 225 g;
• Chicken protein 4 pcs.
• For syrup:
• Agar-agar 8 g;
• Water 75 g;
• Sugar 200 g;
• Powdered sugar for dusting.

Preparation

First, let's prepare the pumpkin puree. If you have one ready, use it. Peel fresh pumpkin from seeds and crust. Cut into medium to small cubes and add to a saucepan. Pour in the specified amount of granulated sugar and cover with hot water. Place on the stove to simmer until the pumpkin is tender. Bring to a boil. After, reduce heat, cover and cook until tender.

It takes about 20-25 minutes for the pumpkin slices to become soft. Almost all of the liquid should completely evaporate. If a small amount of broth remains, it's okay.

Use a blender, crush, or spoon to puree. Can be rubbed through a fine sieve. Cool the pumpkin puree to room temperature. To make the process go faster, send it to the refrigerator.

Transfer the chilled pumpkin puree to a convenient deep bowl. Add the egg whites and beat with a whisk or mixer until the pumpkin-protein mass thickens and thickens. While the mass is whipping, let's do agar-agar.

Prepare the syrup in a separate saucepan. Add the required amount of water, pour 200 grams of sugar and agar-agar there. Put on fire and simmer until the sugar dissolves, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula along the bottom so that the agar does not burn.

The sugar syrup is ready when it slowly pulls the threads off the spatula. After you get this result, remove from heat and cool quite a bit.

Add hot agar syrup to pumpkin puree. At the same time, beat constantly with a mixer until the mass cools. The pumpkin mass has become quite airy and thicker.

Spoon the finished mass into candy tins and leave at room temperature for 3-5 hours until it solidifies completely. You can use silicone molds, as long as they are not too large.

Carefully remove from the molds and sprinkle with powdered sugar. Enjoy your tea!

The healthy pumpkin candy is ready and can be stored in a glass container or paper box.
