Sugar-Coated Berry in Baoding is a delicious snack, which is well-known in Hebei Province. In the Song and Ming Dynasties, a single red fruit dipped in sugar appeared, which was called "sugar pile".

At present, there are many varieties of sugar-coated haws, including all hawthorn, hawthorn with red bean paste, hawthorn with green bean paste, yam and so on, which are attractive and become a popular street food.

The photo of the old house with candied haws and many celebrities is embedded in the middle of Mo Bao, which is particularly eye-catching. The old house told us that the production of sugar-coated haws is not complicated, but it also needs certain technology. The candied haws they make pay great attention to "fruit selection". They have to pick out the small ones, the worms and the ones that don't look "normal", then wash them, and remove the core and pedicel with a knife. Moreover, they can't cut the hawthorn when removing the core, which requires certain skills. The string of candied haws is also exquisite, and the bamboo or wooden sticks used should be polished to be smooth, clean and uniform in thickness. When wearing hawthorn, the top one uses the largest one, and it decreases downwards in turn, so it is not "smooth" to watch and eat like that. Common sense "Luji candied haws" only went on sale on 1 October 1 of that year and closed on March1of the following year. So if you want to eat, you must taste authentic at this time!
