DIY candied haws (simple version)

Overview

When hawthorn fruits are red again, the most beautiful thing is the light of food and drink. I can't help but think of the familiar melody: They say the candied haws on a stick is sour, but the sourness is wrapped in sweetness. They all say the candied haws on a stick is sweet, but the sweetness is full of sourness... As the song goes: The candied haws on a stick is beautiful and pierced with bamboo sticks, symbolizing happiness and reunion. The bright red fruit is the warm sunshine in the frozen world. No matter how bad the mood is, its color will make it beautiful and sunny. It is usually made of hawthorns, the sugar is thin and frozen, and it tastes sour, sweet, and very cold. I like the taste in my memory, the only thing red in the world of ice and snow. Nowadays, it is also a delicious snack for family treasures. It is often a delicious snack for children when they are recovering from illness. Because you can DIY it at home, it’s very simple, you just need to control the heat.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Select fresh, plump and even-sized hawthorns, remove the roots and stems, cut the hawthorns in half, and use a knife to dig out the core.

   

2. 2 Then close the two halves and skewer them with bamboo skewers. Put it in the refrigerator for more than 2 hours. You can freeze more at a time. It is very convenient to take it out when eating.

   

3. 3 Pour the sugar and water into the pot at a ratio of 2:1 and bring to a boil over high heat. Stir during the process to allow the sugar to dissolve.

   

4. 4 Pay attention to the boiling point, and then reduce the heat to low when the sugar foams evenly. No more stirring.

   

5. 5 Simmer over low heat until it resembles light golden beer. You can use chopsticks to dip into the syrup. If it can be slightly pulled out, it means it is ready. Turn off the heat immediately (if the time is too long, the color will turn brown. If the silk is clearly pulled out, it means that the sugar has been burnt and the original sweetness has been lost. Remember, try not to blow the wind when making the soup to make the color of the sugar translucent.)

   

6. 6 Tilt the pot so that all the hawthorns are dipped in the sugar. Gently turn the frozen hawthorn skewers against the foam of the boiled hot sugar and wrap them in a thin layer. The sugar dipping process seems simple, but it requires skills. As long as the sugar is dipped in a thin and even layer, it's considered a success. If you are afraid of the sour fruit, you can wrap it thicker, or you can put it directly into the pot and roll it in a circle as shown, which will make it thicker.

   

7. 7 Place the hawthorn skewers dipped in sugar on a flat porcelain plate with a thin layer of water and let cool for two to three minutes.
