Step 1

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

Step 2

Boiling sugar: Pour sugar and water into the pot according to the ratio of 2:1,and boil for about 20 minutes with strong fire, during which you can stir. Note that after 20 minutes, there is little water, boiling very badly, and the sugar has emerged fine and dense bubbles, just like light golden beer. You can dip your chopsticks in the syrup. If you can pull out the silk slightly, it means you are ready. If the time is too long, the color will turn brown, and if the silk can be obviously pulled out, it means that the sugar is burnt and loses its original sweetness. Remember, try not to blow when cooking soup, so that the sugar color can be bright.

Step 3

Dip in sugar: Tilt the pot so that all the hawthorn can be dipped in sugar. Gently rotate the bunched hawthorn on the foam of boiled hot sugar and wrap it with a thin layer. The sugar dipping process seems simple, but it needs skill. If the sugar is wrapped too thick, it will be a failure if you eat it without biting the fruit. If sugar is dipped in a thin and even layer, it is considered successful.

Step 4

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