【Wenzhou】Sweet potato and jujube

Overview

My aunt lives in the Baishui countryside of Longwan. When she was young, she would dry out a lot of sweet potatoes and dates for us to eat as snacks every day. Especially when the sweet potato yield is high, you can smell the mellow aroma of sweet potatoes and dates while walking in the village. This time when I returned to Wenzhou and saw my elderly aunt, I really missed the sweet potatoes and dates from my childhood. Basking in the sun, eating sweet potatoes, dates, and gnawing sugar cane, it was so beautiful. Fortunately, my hands-on skills are pretty good now, and I can still play with three-dimensional dishes and snacks. Now that I have free time during the annual vacation, I have a sweet potato and jujube party. It doesn’t have the taste of the sun, and it doesn’t have the unique color of sweet potato and jujube from my hometown, but it is still very satisfying.

  6. After cooking, take it out of the pan and bake it in the oven at 100 degrees for 1 hour. If you are not in a hurry, you can bask in the sun. The longer you stay in the sun, the more sugary it will become and the darker the color will be.
