Sweet jujube rice dumplings are the most typical rice dumplings in the north, and almost every household has this taste.
Later, although more colorful rice dumplings were introduced. However, the most classic one is also the favorite one! Do you think this statement makes sense?
My family eats few rice dumplings, and Lanzi Liu and Junliang are both meat lovers and love meat.
My mother also likes to eat rice dumplings, and her favorite is jujube rice dumplings.
I bought "I miss you so much" jujube (very sweet, but relatively expensive, 78 per pack, which makes me sad) to make sweet jujube rice dumplings. Because the quality of dates directly affects the taste of rice dumplings!
Nowadays, candied dates are often used instead of dates, partly because they are sweeter. However, candied dates have a disadvantage, that is, the color will be dark, and the boiled rice dumplings will be black and the color is not good!
If you use dates, it will be much better. Most places are white, and only around the dates will there be a little color.

Steps for Sweet jujube rice dumplings
1
Soak the glutinous rice in advance, and if the dates are dry, soak and cook. I use the fresher one, so I just need to wash it.
2
The zongzi leaves are bent into a funnel shape.
3
Put a jujube on the bottom first.
4
Put glutinous rice and jujube in the middle, and use a spoon to back pressure.
5
Fold the rice dumplings on both sides inwards to wrap the glutinous rice.
6
Fold the long rice dumplings over.
7
Arrange the rice dumplings at the end and bend them to both sides.
8
Use cotton thread to tie it tightly. If you can't count it, just tie it up to five flowers to get a safe one!
9
Add enough water to the pot and put the rice dumplings in until the water reaches the rice dumplings. Bring to a boil over high heat, turn to low heat, cook for 3 hours, simmer for more than 2 hours, or overnight.Sweet jujube rice dumplings Make Tips
1. It is very important to choose jujube. Be sure to choose one with high sweetness, full grains and abundant flesh. 2. The glutinous rice must be compacted, and you can place the dates as you please! 3. During the entire process of making rice dumplings, your hands must be tight. If you loosen them, it will easily leak rice. 4. When tying the rope, if you are not sure, just tie it up with five flowers and make it more secure! 5. Personally, I think that the longer it is cooked, the more sticky and delicious the rice dumplings are. After the jujube is boiled, the sugar inside will also penetrate out. So try to cook it for a while, cook it at night, just soak it all night!
