Candied Eggplant
10 cups
peeled diced eggplant 1/2 inch cubes ( I use "worms" about 3 inches
long and 1/12 inch thick and wide)
3 cups water
2 pkgs. unsweetened Kool-aid (I use Berry Blue as I can only use Blue food coloring!)
2 1/2 cups sugar
2 pkgs. unsweetened Kool-aid (I use Berry Blue as I can only use Blue food coloring!)
2 1/2 cups sugar
Mix the liquid syrup together.
Add
eggplant to the syrup and bring to a boil.
Simmer for 25 min.
Drain.
Put on dehydrator
trays. Dry 14 hours at 125 degrees.
Turn pieces over and dry another 4
hours.
If you would like, at this point you can dip them in sugar.
This
will feel dry and not sticky when done. Store in jars or other tightly
sealed containers. If you dip in sugar when you turn them, they will be
more like "gum drops" on the outside. (I didn't with this batch). Enjoy!
