The green fruit of reunion fruit & snow ball

Reunion fruit is a traditional food that must be eaten during the Spring Festival in Zhuji, hometown. It is divided into white fruit and green fruit. It is made by mixing glutinous rice flour and sticky rice flour in a certain proportion. The salty filling of Ginkgo buns is usually fried with pork, tofu, winter bamboo shoots and pickles; The sweet stuffing of green fruits is usually filled with bean paste and sesame. Sometimes, the green fruits are made into snow balls, that is, they are rounded and wrapped with a layer of glutinous rice. I have made a log of Ginkgo several years ago. Now I'd like to share with you the practice of green fruit. The green color of the green fruits comes from wormwood. My wormwood was picked before the Qingming Festival. It can be taken out at this time when it is properly preserved. The traditional preservation method used to be boiled with lime water and sealed. Now, with a refrigerator, you can blanch the water, squeeze the water, and freeze it directly, which is very convenient. The ratio of glutinous rice flour to sticky rice flour is not certain. I like this ratio. In the actual production process, each family will add it according to their own preferences, and the taste will be slightly different. Green fruits are usually tender green before steaming, but they will turn dark green after steaming. I took photos before and after steaming, and the contrast is very obvious.
Main Ingredients
1. Fillings can be changed into other fillings such as brown sugar, sesame, walnut, etc.2. The amount of glutinous rice inside can be adjusted up and down according to your own taste. More soft glutinous rice is more suitable for snowballs - softer glutinous rice to eat, and less glutinous rice is suitable for green fruits - better shape.
-- Cooking Steps --

Step 1 . Mix the powder first, and leave a small part for later adjustment. If it's fresh wormwood, you should deal with it first. Wash it first, and then blanch it in the water.

Step 2 . After blanching the water, the dough is made into small balls. Try to squeeze out the water as much as possible. In this way, you can squeeze out some bitter juice of wormwood, and the other is convenient for preservation. (it can't be eaten at one time, but it can be frozen at this time. It's OK for more than half a year.)

Step 3 . Put an appropriate amount of water in the pot, add wormwood that has been thawed or freshly blanched to squeeze the water, and add a little baking soda to cook (the amount of baking soda can be added according to the actual situation, but not more. The finished product will have a strong taste of alkaline water after adding more.

(dough is easy to stick to your hands during operation, so you can wipe lard on your hands from time to time to prevent sticking.)
