Press Conference For The Crystallised Sweets Fair In Xochimilco, Mexico City
Abuelita Amalia Salas Casales, artisan, traditional doctor and activist for the defence of the land, corn, water and chinampas of Lake Xochimilco, holds her baton during a press conference at the Archaeological Museum in the municipality of Xochimilco, Mexico City, on the occasion of the Crystallised Sweet Fair in Santa Cruz Acalpixca. This fair has been held since 1982 in the town of Santa Cruz Acalpixca, Xochimilco, with the purpose of making known products such as chilacayote, pumpkin, carrots, nopal, among others typical of the region; ingeniously transformed in an artisanal way into delicious and exotic sweets. The crystallization of sweets is a technique of conventual origin that was born in the novo-Hispanic era, it consists of a slow cooking in water and sugar of fruits or vegetables, with which it acquires a translucent appearance.
