First, peel the winter melon and remove the seeds from inside.
The winter melon should be a bit mature, not young - a tender winter melon won't work.
Once peeled, cut the winter melon neatly and evenly into strips about 4 inches long and 2 inches wide, then wash thoroughly until clean.
Mix a small amount of slaked lime powder into clean water, and soak the washed winter melon pieces in it for about 3 hours.
After about three hours, take them out and rinse them again thoroughly with clean water.
Mix about three spoons of lime juice into water, and soak the drained winter melon pieces again for a short while, then take them out and drain the water again.
Add sugar to taste and a little salt, mix evenly with the winter melon pieces, add clean water, and boil for about half an hour.
Once it thickens, remove it from the pot, spread it out on a strainer, and let it cool completely. Then you can enjoy the clean, fresh, and sweet candied winter melon as you like.
