The candied haws on a stick is beautiful and pierced with bamboo sticks. It symbolizes happiness and reunion. Happiness and reunion are connected in a string. No worries, no worries ~~~~~~~ An old song carries so many childhood memories. When I was a child, when I went to temple fairs, went to the theater, and went to the streets, I would ask my parents to buy them for me when I met someone carrying a stick with bunches of red fruits on it. I remember one time when I was a child, I only heard outside When someone called out, I quickly poked my head out and saw that it was selling candied haws. I hurried to my mother and said I wanted to eat candied haws. My mother said, as long as you call me at the door, I will buy it for you; foodies have been raised since childhood. OK, I hurriedly ran out without saying a word. Unexpectedly, in the blink of an eye, this good guy had already arrived at the entrance of the village. I shouted while running, my mother said she wanted to buy candied haws~~~, luckily, I caught up with him in the end, but there was no money. So after some hard talking, I brought this master home, and finally I could eat the sweet and sour candied haws that I like. Now, my mother often talks about my enthusiasm at that time. My mother said that she remembers that I was only 7 or 8 years old at that time~~ Now is the hawthorn season. I will make this candied haws for my children, which is healthier and more delicious. It also reminds me of the taste of my childhood~~

Ingredients
Steps
-
In hawthorn season, wash the hawthorns, rub them with salt, and continue to rinse them with water;
-
Remove stems from both ends of hawthorn and wash;
-
Use toothpicks to skewer them. In order to make it easier for the children to eat, I use short toothpicks, or you can use long barbecue bamboo skewers;
-
Prepare rock sugar and water, the ratio of rock sugar to water is 2:1;
-
Pour rock sugar and water into a saucepan, bring to a boil over high heat, and stir constantly with a spatula; a lot of bubbles will appear;
-
Slowly, a lot of bubbles will appear. Change to low heat. The bubbles will become denser and denser and the color will gradually turn yellow. At this time, you need to dip the head of the chopsticks into cold water and try it. If the sugar stuck to the chopsticks still sticks to your teeth when you bite it off, continue to cook on low heat;
-
If the sugar you dipped in cold water hardens immediately and feels crispy when you bite it, it means the heat is just right and you can turn off the heat. At this time, you can add white sesame seeds and stir;
-
Put the skewered hawthorn into the pot, roll it down, cover it with sugar, put it on an oiled plate, and wait until it cools down;
