With the development of the times, a single hawthorn flavor has become a variety of fruit flavors, such as strawberries, yam, oranges, bananas and so on. , all kinds of fruits can be above.

The record of sugar-coated haws first appeared in the Song Dynasty and flourished in the Republic of China. 1940, German photographer Haida Morrison set foot in Baoding, leaving many classic old photos. One of them is a vendor selling candied haws, showing the scene of selling candied haws on the streets in the old society. A peddler walking in the street with a basket on his arm. "Hey, sugar-coated haws, new ones."

The practice of sugar-coated haws is to string the fruits together, select fresh and full red fruits with uniform size and wash them. Cut the red fruit from the middle, dig out the stone with a knife, and then close two petals. String the red fruits with bamboo sticks, each string is about a dozen.

Boil the sugar, pour the white sugar into the pot, add water according to the ratio of sugar to water 2: 1, and cook for about 20 minutes. The sugar is thick and transparent when it is cooked just right. If the cooking time is not enough, sugar will stick to the teeth; If you cook it for too long, the sugar will be bitter.

Dip in sugar and gently rotate the red fruit string to face the foam on the boiling hot sugar and wrap it with a thin layer. The master of candied haws said that dipping sugar seems simple, but it needs skill. If the sugar package is too thick and you eat it without biting the fruit, it is a failure. If the sugar is dipped thinly and evenly, it is considered successful.

Cool, put the red fruit string dipped in sugar on the water board to cool for two or three minutes. The so-called water board is actually a smooth board, which has been soaked in clear water for a long time and has a low temperature. At the same time, wood has water absorption, which can help sugar-coated haws cool down and shape. When cooking at home, you can use a chopping board instead and just soak it in water.
