Unripe nuts should be harvested while the skin is still soft enough. A little frantic - and that's it, write is gone. As soon as you have collected the required amount, you should immediately start cleaning them. The knife with which you peel carrots is quite suitable for cleaning. The skin is removed quite easily, but take care of your hands. It is best to do this in rubber gloves, although they also miss some of the substances, and your fingers may turn brown. After cleaning, fill the nuts with cold water for 6 days. We change the water three or four times a day. Then we drain this water and fill the nuts with another – lime water. And we stand in it for another day.
Lime water is made as follows: pour 0.5 kg of quicklime with five liters of cold water. Be sure to strain.
After lime, we wash the nuts very thoroughly (by this time they become completely black) and prick them with a fork in two or three places. Then we wash it again and lower it into boiling water with the addition of alum. 75 gr. alum for the same five liters of water. Cook for 10 minutes, Then fold back and place in a bowl with cold water for an hour. Preliminary preparation is over.
Cook the syrup. Mix sugar with three glasses of water, add cinnamon, cloves and cardamom in a gauze bag. Bring to a boil. Pour the syrup over the nuts and boil for a few minutes. Then – remove from the heat and leave for a day. We do this three times. Then we cook until ready. And don't forget to remove the bag of cardamom.
