Simple method of hawthorn sugar snowball
Hawthorn, crystal sugar or white sugar, water and white vinegar (the ratio of hawthorn to sugar is 1: 0.5, and the ratio of sugar to water is 1g: 1ml). Examples: hawthorn 200g and crystal sugar 100g, water 100ml.
Wash the hawthorn, dry it in the sun or dry it in the sun, and remove the stalks and seeds (the seeds can be omitted, personally, it is better to remove the seeds). Here, I have to praise my artifact of removing stems and seeds-it's really useful, and it's actually used to eat crabs.
Mix sugar and water in proportion.
Pour into the pot and simmer while stirring.
In the meantime, continue to stir.
Until the sugar is completely melted, the water evaporates, and small bubbles begin to appear evenly, such as adding appropriate amount of white vinegar and stirring evenly. This is a very important step. Be patient, don't turn off the fire as soon as it bubbles, wait until the water evaporates, the sugar begins to thicken and even small bubbles appear.
4. Turn off the fire after stirring evenly, pour in hawthorn and start stirring.
Because the sugar water is thick, it is a little laborious to stir, so I changed it to a steel spoon and kept stirring during the stirring until the hawthorn was covered with icing and no longer sticky.
Turn into icing
Sweet and sour snowballs are ready. Remember to freeze the leftovers in the refrigerator, and they are still delicious when taken out.
Now upload a few more steps to cook sugar for your reference. This photo shows the complete melting of sugar. Remember to stir when cooking.
Water evaporates slowly.
The center began to bubble, with fine bubbles around it, and then it boiled.
Constantly stirring, tiny bubbles become more and more delicate and uniform.
Add white vinegar, stir well, turn off the heat and stir fry for a while.
Add hawthorn and start stirring, gently stirring, so as not to break hawthorn.
Start grinding and continue stirring patiently.
Sugar sand is getting whiter and more uniform.
Be done
