2. Put bean paste, sesame oil, honey and essence into a basin to make stuffing.
3. Insert the stuffing into the hollowed-out hawthorn, compact it, make various patterns with melon seeds, sesame seeds, peanuts and walnuts, and then string the inlaid hawthorn with sterilized bamboo sticks.
4. Put the sugar into the pot, add water and boil it into juice, then add the hawthorn. When the sugar juice is full, it becomes a sugar gourd when it is out of the pot.
1. Remove the cores, unscrew the hawthorn for crosscutting, and then take out the cores one by one with a knife.
2. After the hawthorn is pitted, put a piece of bean paste on it, cover the other piece with sesame seeds and insert a toothpick.
3. The most critical ratio of sugar water for boiling sugar is 2: 1. A catty of sugar and half a catty of water must be drained first, and then boiled. Don't stop stirring with chopsticks before cooking. After boiling, simmer slowly, and it is best not to stir the sugar juice. When the sugar turns light golden yellow and the foam looks uniform, you can dip it in the sugar gourd and eat it.
4. Dip the sugar and turn the small sugar mound twice in the sugar juice.
Hawthorn, bamboo stick, rock sugar
1. Wash and dry hawthorn, and cut off the stems and pedicels of hawthorn with scissors.
2. String the hawthorn with bamboo sticks.
3. Pour the rock sugar and water into the pot, bring it to a boil, and keep stirring until the rock sugar melts.
4. After the rock sugar is dissolved in water, turn to low heat and cook for a while.
5. Cook until the sugar solution is amber, thick and has the feeling of drawing. At this time, dip some sugar liquid with chopsticks and quickly immerse it in cold water. The sugar solution will solidify immediately, and it will be hard and brittle to bite, and it will not stick to teeth.
6. After the sugar is boiled, gently rotate the bundled hawthorn against the foam on the boiled hot sugar and wrap it with a thin layer. (If you find it difficult to operate, you can scoop up the syrup with a spoon and pour it evenly on the surface of the hawthorn string. )
7. Put the hawthorn skewers wrapped in sugar on a container or put them on the oiled surface to dry for two or three minutes, and then enjoy them when the sugar is solidified. ?
1. Hawthorn should be fresh, without bug eyes.
2. When the sugar is thin, after all the rock sugar is melted, it should be stewed slowly until the sugar is a little amber and has a certain consistency. You can dip chopsticks in a little sugar water and put them in cold water, which will solidify and not stick to your teeth.
3. If you don't have bamboo sticks at hand, you can string them together with toothpicks as shown below, one by one, which is very cute.
