Today, let's make something sweet. Do you have a sweet tooth?

When I go out to the restaurant, later after finishing a meal they ask us for dessert.

Usually I don't order dessert because I feel really heavy.

But sometimes I feel like eating some sweet thing, just one candy.

Today we are going to make Korean traditional candy.

Beet-jeonggwa. In English: beet jelly candy.

Jeonggwa is usually made with hard fruit or stems or roots.

Sliced thinly and then cooked with sugar, and then eventually it turns into really

sweet jelly-like a candy. But today I'm going to make jeonggwa with beets.

Everybody knows beets are very healthy. They have a little strong smell.

But when you make this jeonggwa with this, all the smells are gone and

texture is good and really chewy jelly and tasty! Really tasty.

I already measured this guy, it's around nine ounces.

Nine ounces but after peeling it's going to be eight ounces.

As you know, inside these guys the color is all bloody, you know. (laughs)

But this is a small size, so I like to use my knife.

I will just grate this, because it's a small amount quickly you can grate.

When I give my beet candy - beet jeonggwa - to my friends. They never guess what it's made with.

eventually I got a really small, looks like a triangle shape. So this is a good tip.

How you can do? Now you saw that I was up and down up and down, north and south,

But you can do this, one direction now . Like this, one direction.

This is eight ounce. We need to make it a little tangy and kind of flavorful.

I will use lemon, one lemon and then I'm going to squeeze out.

This lemon has so many seeds. This is a lime squeezer.

So total around two tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Sugar eight ounces. Eight ounces beet and eight ounces sugar, which is one cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar.

We have to cook it over low heat so that the beet pulp is going to be all tender

and then it tastes like a kind of chewy jelly.

So it has to be a thicker and also a little cooked. I will let the water evaporate a little bit.

When my candy is all done, I'm going to pour this here, this is a parchment paper.

You gotta be really patient. "Oh I want to do quickly!" and then you just turn up the heat,

it's going to be burnt, and also the candy color is going to be dark.

It's not pretty and also smells like a burnt smell, not good. To maintain a really beautiful red color

Let's see the consistency. Drop it like this. pour this candy in here.

Let it cool down around 20 minutes. We still have a lot of good stuff in here. I like to make a tea.

I'll put some vegetable oil on the blade of this knife to cut nicely.

You can serve just like this or wrap this. This is wrapper. This is a cellophane candy wrapper.

Sweet and chewy, tangy and nutty. Why nutty? Sesame seeds. Toasted sesame seeds

You will never guess this is made with beet!

Because it tastes a totally different. You can't feel any beet flavor.

Today we made beet-jeonggwa. Beet jelly candy. So enjoy my recipe see you next time!
