Ingredients
Steps
-
Ingredients: fresh hawthorn, old rock sugar.
-
Wash the hawthorn and soak in salt water for 30 minutes.
-
Remove the stems and cores of the soaked hawthorns.
-
Put the food in the food processor and add an appropriate amount of water (don't add a lot of water, as long as it can be stirred, if you add too much water, the cooking time will be very long).
-
Puree.
-
Put the pureed fruit puree into a cooking pot, add rock sugar, bring to a boil over medium heat, turn to low heat and simmer, stirring constantly, until the color becomes darker and the consistency is like purchased tomato sauce, then serve.
-
Grease a baking sheet with sesame oil.
-
Pour the cooked hawthorn slurry into the baking pan and smooth it with a spatula to a thickness of 2-3 mm (I don't have a spatula, so the smoothness is not very smooth).
-
After being left for 24 hours, it will become like a pancake and can be easily peeled off (the storage time depends on the thickness of the hawthorn mud. If you have an oven, you can also bake it in the oven, which is more convenient).
-
Cut the dried hawthorn cake into strips.
-
Just roll it up.
-
Of course, you can also put the cooked hawthorn pulp into a container, put it in the refrigerator after it cools down, and take it out when eating, which is also good.
