1, come on
After the candied haws are cooked, they are coated with a layer of edible oil, which not only makes the sugar on the surface shiny and beautiful, but also is not easy to melt.
Step 2 add gelatin
Put sugar into a pot, add gelatin, stir well, add water, and add water to sugar. After the sugar is boiled for 3 minutes, add the glass crisp and stir well. When the sugar is almost ripe, citric acid is added, in which citric acid can prevent the sugar from turning into sand, and gelatin (edible gum) can harden the sugar and prolong the melting time.
3. Dry and store at low temperature.
If the temperature in the candied haws is too high, the sugar will melt easily. It is recommended to wrap it in a special paper or plastic bag for food, and keep it sealed in a refrigerator or a cool, dry and low-temperature place, so as not to let the sugar on the surface melt due to high temperature or moisture absorption.
The origin of sugar-coated berries
Emperor Song Guangzong's name was Zhao Dun, and the year number was "Shao Xi". During the reign of Shao Xi, Huang Guifei, the favorite of Song Guangzong, fell ill. She is sallow and emaciated, and she doesn't think about eating or drinking. The doctor used many expensive drugs, but none of them worked. When the emperor saw that his beloved princess was getting haggard, he was also sad all day.
In the end, I had no choice but to post a list of medical treatment. A quack revealed the list and entered the palace. Huang Guifei took her pulse and said, "As long as you use rock sugar and red fruits (that is, hawthorn), you should take five to ten tablets before meals every time, and you will be fine within half a month."
At first, everyone was dubious, but fortunately, this way of eating was also to the taste of the imperial concubine. After taking it in this way, the imperial concubine recovered as scheduled. The emperor was naturally overjoyed and began to frown. Later, this practice spread to the people, and the people strung it together and sold it, which became a sugar-coated gourd.
