Hello Steemers, today I bring to you the recipe of one of the typical sweets with more tradition in the whole country.

The sweet of Lechosa.

The sweet of Lechosa is typical in Venezuela in the holiday season, each state and each region has its own way of preparing it, and I even dare to say that each house has its own way and its different ingredients but always taking the green Lechosa and the paper as base of this typical sweet. I'm going to show you how my family does it.

Ingredients of this preparation:

• 3 kg of Lechosa.
• 1.5 kg of white sugar.
• 500 gr of papelón.
• 4.5 liters of water.
• Cloves.
• Whole cinnamon.
• Guayabita.
• Pinch of salt.
• 150 gr of Bicarbonate.

Step by Step.

First of all, we take the Lechosas and make some small cuts in the shell to release their sap and so it is easier to peel them. We leave for 15 min.

After 15 minutes, peel, chop in half and take out the seeds.

Cut the Lechosa in pieces of 1-3 centimeters, place in a tray and spread the baking on them. We leave for 2 hours in the sun.

While they pass the 2 hours, we put in a pot the water with the papelón, the sugar and the spices to high fire.

When the papelon and sugar have dissolved, and this boiling add the Lechosas.

We lower the heat and stir from bottom to top every 10 minutes so that they all have an even cooking and absorb the liquid evenly.

1 hour and 30 minutes of cooking. We can see how the amount of liquid inside the pot has been reduced.

Let cook for 1 hour and a half more, turn off and let it rest, when this warm take to the refrigerator. (They can eat it that way hot)

We take out the fridge and taste.
