SO easy sugar-free and oil-free version of date paste
Overview
The purpose of making jujube paste is actually to make jujube paste candy. I accidentally took a bite of someone else's date paste candy and I couldn't forget it. I have been thinking about it, but I don't want to buy jujube paste from outside because I don't know what is added to it, so I might as well make it myself. And since you start doing it yourself, you will find that more and more I don’t want to buy anything from outside. Even if it’s too complicated, I at least want to try it. After trying it, I found that it’s not that complicated and difficult to make. Just like this jujube paste, I actually finished it most of the time while watching TV. I only spent less than ten minutes in front of the stove. This is also the ultimate enjoyment in cooking. 😄 If you also like it, search the WeChat public account [Xingxing Private Kitchen] or [xingxing_sichu] and follow it. As a food-loving little girl born after 85 who runs on the IT road, my biggest hobby is not only loving eating, but also loving to take pictures and write music of the cooked food, because in fact, I am also worried that I will forget some classic recipes after a while

Ingredients
Steps
-
Wash the jujubes and soak them in water for half an hour. Then pour the water into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 40-50 minutes, then cover and let cool
-
Wash your hands. The water and dates have cooled down. Peel the dates while watching TV. It's so easy. It takes me less than an episode of a TV series to make 500g of dates, and the dates I choose are not too big. I believe it will be faster if you choose big dates.
-
Remove the jujube core, squeeze the peeled jujube meat with your hands, and the jujube core will come out (you will find it is actually easier). Put the jujube meat in the pot and start frying over medium heat (it is best to use a non-stick pan (⊙o⊙))
-
Keep stir-frying, be careful of gluing the pan, and stir-fry for about 5 minutes. You will find that the color is getting darker and thicker. The jujube paste will be more viscous when it is cooled than when it is hot, so you can decide how far you will stir-fry it, or think about the viscosity of jujube paste you have seen in the past

The picture in the previous step is the state before I take it out of the pot. This picture is after it has cooled down. There is still a big change
