Ingredients
- 90 g Split peas, dried
- 25 g Sugar
- 250 g Water
- 8 g Jujubes, dried
Method
- Rinse the split peas, then simmer them in the water for about 45-50 minutes until completely soft and starting to fall apart, topping up water if needed.
- Drain any excess liquid, then blend or push the peas through a sieve while hot to make a very smooth, thick purée.
- Return the purée to the pan with the sugar and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, for 5-8 minutes until it thickens into a stiff paste that holds its shape.
- Chop the jujubes and fold most of the pieces through the paste.
- Press the warm paste firmly and evenly into a small lined tin, pressing the remaining jujube pieces into the top.
- Chill for at least 2 hours until firm, then turn out and cut into small blocks to serve.
