1. Fruit stringing: Choose fresh and full hawthorn with uniform size, wash it, remove roots and pedicels, cut the hawthorn in the middle, dig out the stone with a knife, and add your favorite fillings such as red bean paste and green bean paste. Then close two petals and string them with bamboo sticks.

2. Boil sugar: put sugar and water into the pot according to the ratio of 2: 1, and cook for about 20 minutes on high fire, during which it can be stirred. Note that after 20 minutes, there is little water, boiling badly, and the sugar has appeared small and dense bubbles, just like light golden beer. You can dip chopsticks in syrup. If you can pull out the silk a little, it means you are ready. Then add agar powder and citric acid. Remember, try not to blow when cooking soup, so that the sugar color can be bright.

3, sugar dipping: tilt the pot and let all the hawthorn be dipped in sugar. Put the tied hawthorn on the boiling hot sugar foam and gently rotate it, and wrap it with a thin layer. The process of dipping sugar seems simple, but in fact it requires skill. If the sugar package is too thick and you eat it without biting the fruit, it is a failure. If the sugar is dipped thinly and evenly, it is considered successful.

4. Cooling: Put the hawthorn skewers dipped in sugar on the water tray and cool for two or three minutes. The so-called water board refers to a smooth wooden board, which is soaked in clear water for a long time and has a low temperature. At the same time, wood has water absorption, which can help sugar-coated haws cool down and shape. When you do it at home, you can use a chopping board instead. Just soak the chopping board in clean water before use. Marble board is also a good choice.
