Parvarda candy at home

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make candy parvarda at home? Prepare the products. Instead of lemon juice, you can take a drop of citric acid or vinegar, but with lemon it will turn out more natural.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare the dishes before starting cooking. The syrup will be brewed under your close attention, so it's better to have everything ready in advance. I took a bowl, but I advise you to take something with a wider bottom, like a flat bowl, so the syrup will cool down faster. Lubricate the bottom and walls of the dishes with vegetable oil. Note that the syrup is very hot, the dishes must withstand high temperatures.

3. Step 3:

   

   To cool the syrup faster, you will need a bowl of ice water. Pour cold water and throw ice cubes into it. The bowl should be larger than the syrup dishes, take this into account.

4. Step 4:

   

   In a saucepan with a thick bottom, mix sugar and water, add lemon juice.

5. Step 5:

   

   Put the saucepan on the stove, turn on medium heat.

6. Step 6:

   

   Bring the syrup to a boil, stirring it occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Turn down the heat and cook the syrup without touching it. The goal is to boil the syrup almost twice. It will take about 20-30 minutes.

8. Step 7:

   

   Towards the end of the time, start checking the readiness of the syrup. To do this, drop the hot syrup on a saucer. Just wait until the droplet cools down. In the finished syrup, the drop does not spread and you can easily make a ball out of it with your fingers. You can also determine the readiness by color - the syrup will get a beautiful caramel shade.

9. Step 8:

   

   Put the syrup mold on a bowl of water. Pour the hot syrup into it. Wait a little, a couple of minutes. And with a spatula, as it were, roll the edges of the congealing syrup to the center. It is also better to pre-lubricate the blade with oil. Roll up the mass until it gathers into a lump.

10. Step 9:

    

    Pour flour on the board. Put the resulting lump of syrup into the flour. Roll it on all sides. And start the pulling process.

11. Step 10:

    

    Stretch the warm mass into a long thread, then fold it and pull it out again. Gradually, it will begin to cool down, become harder and acquire a beautiful mother-of-pearl hue.

12. Step 11:

    

    When the caramel becomes hard enough, form a sausage out of it. Cut it into small pieces with a knife. Roll the pieces well in flour and leave them to lie down for an hour.

13. Step 12:

    

    During this time, the pieces will finally harden. Use a sieve to remove excess flour. The candies are ready! Enjoy your meal!
