2. Put the bean paste, sesame oil, honey and essence into a basin to make stuffing.
3. Insert the stuffing into the hollowed-out hawthorn, compact it, put it into various patterns with melon seeds, sesame seeds, peanuts and walnuts, and then string the inlaid hawthorn with sterilized bamboo sticks.
4. Put the white sugar into the pot, add water and boil it into juice, then put the hawthorn into it. After the sugar juice is full, take it out of the pot and it will become a sugar gourd.
1. Remove the core, unscrew the hawthorn crosscutting, and then take out the core one by one with a knife.
2. After the hawthorn is pitted, put a piece of bean paste on it, cover the other piece with sesame seeds on the side and insert a toothpick.
3. The most critical ratio of sugar water for boiling sugar is 2:1.One catty of sugar and half a catty of water must be put with sugar first and then drained, and then boiled with strong fire. Do not stop using chopsticks to stir before boiling. After boiling, simmer slowly on low heat, and it is best not to stir the sugar juice. When the sugar turns light golden yellow and the foam looks very uniform, you can dip it in the sugar gourd.
4. Dip the sugar and turn the small sugar mound twice in the sugar juice.
Hawthorn, bamboo stick, rock sugar
1. Wash and dry hawthorn, and use scissors to remove the stalks and pedicels of hawthorn.
2. String the hawthorn with bamboo sticks.
3. Pour the rock sugar and water into the pot, boil over high fire, and keep stirring until the rock sugar melts.
4. After the crystal sugar is dissolved in the water, turn to low heat and boil for a while.
5. Boil until the sugar solution is amber, thick and has the feeling of drawing. At this time, dip some sugar liquid with chopsticks and quickly immerse it in cold water. The sugar liquid will solidify immediately, and it will be hard and brittle to bite and not stick to teeth.
6. After the sugar is boiled, gently rotate the bunched hawthorn against the foam on the boiled hot sugar and wrap it with a thin layer. (If you find it difficult to operate, you can use a spoon to pick up the syrup and pour it evenly on the surface of the hawthorn string.)
7. Put the hawthorn skewers wrapped in sugar on a container or put them on an oiled surface to cool for two or three minutes, and then enjoy them when the sugar is solidified. ?
1. Hawthorn should be fresh without insect eyes.
2. When the sugar is thin, after all the rock sugar is melted, it is necessary to simmer slowly until the sugar is a little amber and has a certain consistency. You can dip chopsticks in a little sugar syrup and put it in cold water, which will solidify and not stick to your teeth.
3. If you don't have bamboo sticks at hand, you can string them together with toothpicks like the picture below, one by one, very cute.
