Baida had given us our second winter melon, organically grown in his Denton, Texas garden. The first one I gave to my sister to use in her cooking. Winter melon is delightful in soups but a melon is just so big you have to find creative ways of using them so I wanted to make candied winter melon. While growing up we ate them as snacks or in baked buns. Have you ever tried them? Candied winter melon is white as snow, hard outside but soft inside, very sweet and addictive.
We always bought them from the store and I had no experience making them. I looked for recipes but most required soaking the winter melon in alum. It took me a while to find the alum ( found it in the Asian store) so the winter melon lay untouched for a long time. Alum is supposed to make the texture less mushy when cooked and keep them white in color.
