A good recipe worth collecting - pickled steamed cherries that nourish blood and qi

Overview

Cherries are really a good thing. Old Chinese doctors say they have a very good effect on replenishing qi. For example, if the body is weak and out of breath when walking, the effect is more obvious for women who are too weak after childbirth. I went to buy cherries on Sunday afternoon just in time for the end of the season. There was only one store selling them, so I bought a few kilograms. This year’s cherry season is over. If I want to eat cherries again, I have to wait until next year.

11. 11 Spread the cherries layer by layer in this way and sprinkle with sugar until all the cherries are covered and the sugar is used up. Cover with a layer of plastic wrap and marinate for a day. I marinated for a day and night

    

12. 12 For cherries that have been pickled for a day, do not remove the plastic wrap to prevent steam and water from dripping in during steaming. Use a toothpick to poke a few small holes in the top to vent the air during steaming.

14. 14 Half an hour has passed. Here are the steamed cherries
