How to cook dried zucchini at home for the winter.
And so, we take zucchini of any size and age. Using overripe fruits is very appropriate in this original recipe.
We wash, peel and scrape out the pulp and grains. It is convenient to scrape with a tablespoon.
We cut the vegetables prepared in this way into not too large uniform pieces and sprinkle them with sugar, vanilla and citric acid. Let it brew for 4-5 hours.
Then, you need to “drive the water out” of the zucchini - put it under a weight and let the juice drain. While they are standing under pressure, you need to put them in a cold place. This will take approximately 8 hours.
When the time specified in the recipe has expired, it is necessary to dry our “blocks” in a low-heat oven or electric dryer.
We put the properly dried zucchini into previously prepared glass jars, cover with lids and set aside to store in the cold. It will be good if you have a place for them in the refrigerator.
Dried zucchini prepared according to this unusual recipe is perfectly stored. And you can use them in winter simply as a dessert, or for making pies or various salads.
