There are three types of candied haws in Peking:

One uses maltose, which in Beiping dialect means sugary haws, and can be used to make large bunches of mountain-red candied haws, which can be more than five feet long. This kind of large candied haws, Changdian sells the most during the New Year. Maltose-wrapped apricots (green apricots that have not grown up) are very delicious, but sugar-coated haws on a stick is not as good, especially the candied haws, which are often rotten or filled with insect droppings. The other kind is mixed with sugar and glued on. After it is cold, it becomes a white layer of frost, which has a different flavor.

The authentic one is candied haws, with a thin layer of sugar, transparent and bright. There are many types of materials, such as crabapples, yams, yam beans, dried apricots, grapes, oranges, water chestnuts, and walnuts, but Shanlihong is the most authentic. Mountain red, that is, hawthorn, is abundant in the north. It has a sour taste and is very delicious when wrapped in sugar.
