Hawthorn cake should be made with fresh hawthorn. Dried hawthorn has been dehydrated and its pectin has been lost. The resulting hawthorn cake will not look good or taste good.

How to make hawthorn cake:

Preparation materials: 800 grams of hawthorn, 200 grams of rock sugar, 100 grams of white sugar, 50 grams of water, appropriate amount of sugar and osmanthus

Production steps :

1. Soak hawthorn in salt water for about 10 minutes and wash.

2. Cut off both ends, then cut and remove the core.

3. Put the processed hawthorn pieces into the pot, add a little water (different food processors have different powers, the amount of water needs to be adjusted, but as little as possible), first add 100 grams of crushed rock sugar.

4. Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently during the process.

5. Pour the boiled hawthorn into a food processor and puree it into a puree (measure more and divide in batches. If you like a delicate effect, use a filter to filter it).

6. Pour the hawthorn puree into the pot again, add the remaining 100 grams of rock sugar and 100 grams of white sugar in batches, and stir-fry quickly over medium heat (because of the high sugar content, it is easy to stir-fry burnt bottom).

7. Fry until the lines are not easy to disappear after being scratched with a shovel, or the puree on the shovel is not easy to drip.

8. Put the hawthorn puree into a container, cool it and store it in the refrigerator.

9. After solidification, cut into pieces and sprinkle sugar osmanthus on the surface.
