Sugar-coated haws are mostly specialties of Beijing, and later spread all over the country. The raw materials are hawthorn and rock sugar.

The preparation method is simple and easy to operate. Wash the hawthorn, string it on a bamboo stick for later use, add boiling water to the rock sugar until it is slightly yellow, quickly wrap the hawthorn on the sugar surface, and let it cool before eating.

The acid of hawthorn and the sweetness of sugar coating are mixed together, and the taste is very good. The price in the market is also very cheap, and many people can be seen selling it in the street. There is a core in the hawthorn. In order to facilitate eating, people made sugar-coated haws without hawthorn.

In addition to hawthorn, the sugar coating can also be changed into other fruits such as apples, pears and pitaya, with various styles.
