Tutty Fruity.... :)

Hi ...

Tutty Fruity is nothing but the small colourful cubes we generally come across when we have sweet dishes. Actually , Tutty fruity has multiple culinary uses, mainly in confectionery and bakery industry. Especially , in biscuits, cookies, cakes, pastry , ice creams, custards, soufflés and even pies....

Kids generally get fascinated with this sweet , colourful candied fruit cubes. In my childhood days , I always wanted to know how is it made then one day I came across its recipe and I made it. It was exactly the same as we get it market and I was so delighted. Since then I keep making it , eating it and adding in my dishes to make them look representable and tempting.

Tutty fruity is made up of raw papaya. It is a long procedure due to which many people avoid to prepare it but just try once you ultimately get a wonderful output. It can be preserved for long-term use if stored in a refrigerator in an air-tight container. Lets start with the procedure. 



Ingredients :
Raw Papaya : 400-500 gms
Sugar : 2 cups 
Water : 2 and 1/2 cups
Edible Colours : As per your wish
Vanilla essence : Few drops

At First , I will show you how much raw the papaya should be , so that it serves our purpose.




Peel the papaya and cut it in small cubes. 



 Once the cutting part is done , Boil the papaya cubes for 3-5 minutes in a tea-pan.


On the other hand, take a big wok/kadhai and add the sugar & water in it. The timing will be perfect if you keep a watch for the cubes boiling and sugar dissolving in the water. 


Once the sugar is dissolved in water , add the boiled cubes. 




Let the papaya cubes boil in the sugar syrup till the time the sugar syrup/chashni has turned to "One Tar". It will take about 20-25 mins approximately on a medium gas. And make sure you are stirring it in-between.Keep checking the chahsni, by taking a hot drop of it in between your index finger and your thumb (please be very very careful). When you open the finger and see one spyke of chashni stretched atleast till 1 cm , Then it is ready...
Now, you can put the wok away from heat and add vanilla essence in it.



Leave it to cool for 1 hr or so. Now you can add colour in it. Divide it wisely , if you want it to be of multiple colours like Red, Yellow , Orange , Green etc.
After adding colour , leave it soaked in sugar syrup for 24-36 hours.




Now , With the help of a Strainer/Channi , remove the chasni , make it dry by keeping it in a strainer and letting the syrup strain out completely by making the cubes moist but non-sticky.


You can now happily store the multi-coloured cubes in an air tight container and keep it in fridge so that can be used as an when required. 



Enjoy the recipe my dear friends.. Now, You can queries related to the recipes on facebook page https://www.facebook.com/nehazfoodzone?ref=hl... Keep checking the blog for more yummy fascinating recipes and cookery tips.
