about 3 heaped Tablespoons Strawberry powderI used Tang
Water to cover the fruits in the pot
Instructions
Wash your Amla fruits twice very well.
Keep a pot ready with boiling water and cook your amla until soft.
Discard the water and strain the fruits. Cut out discard the seed core and cut the fruit into wedges.
Place the Amla wedges all into one pot and add the sugar, strawberry powder and water.
Now, keep the pot on medium fire first and wait for it to heat up. Then increase the heat so that you reach a good rolling boil. Keep on stirring at this point and wait for 2 minutes heavy boiling, then take back the heat to slow. Stir frequently and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
After cooking let it cool and pour it into a bowl. Place this bowl into the sun for 4-5 days and stir ever day at least once. Keep it in the fridge over night. You will realize that the liquid will have decreased after 5 days. You should be left with only a tiny amount of syrup around the candy. Keep it more days in the sun until the liquid is all dissolved, if it is still too wet!
Once it is ready, just sprinkle some sugar on top, mix it and serve it or store it in a cool place in a Tupperware. It should preserve well with the sugar and in general the fruit keeps some time.
Notes
Note that the making of the candy takes a couple of days and plenty of sunshine!
