Then, take all the water out.<br /> Add fresh water until the helmets are covered again. Place once more over medium heat, add half the sugar, keep cooking and stir occasionally with a wooden spoon to prevent it from sticking to the pot. After cooking for a while stir in the rest of the sugar (You don’t have to add it all, the amount varies according to taste). Remove from heat when the helmets are soft and the syrup has reached the desired consistency.</p> </div> </div></div> Desserts Fruits Thu, 01 Jan 1970 01:00:00 +0100 http://www.cubanfoodrecipes.com/side/ripe_fried_plantains_platanos_maduros_fritos.html <div class="flexinode-body flexinode-1"><b>Cooking instructions:</b> <div class="flexinode-textarea-4"><div class="form-item"> <p>Peel the plantain and cut it into long slices.
