Ingredients

2 catties Hawthorn
Some Crystal Sugar
1/2 a catty Sugar

Hawthorn Jam

1. The fresh hawthorn that I bought is washed away from the dust, soaked in salt water for about 20 minutes, and then cleaned.

2. Go to the stalk to get the nuclear. The method I used was learned from the war girl, that is, through the pen cap directly, all the nuclei can be ejected. Thanks to the war girl for sharing, it is really labor-saving.

3. Put water in a casserole to submerge the hawthorn.

4. I added rock sugar. I forgot to weigh it when I added it. I added yellow rock sugar, which is about 5-6 chunks.

5. After the high heat is boiled, simmer on a low heat for about half an hour, stirring constantly with a spatula, to completely melt the rock sugar.

6. Put the food processor into pieces.

7. Put it back into the casserole and add white sugar to continue cooking. I put it in about half a catty. Since hawthorn is very sour, the sugar should be added a bit more than ordinary jam. You can taste it according to your own taste and decide.

8. Boil until viscous, turn off the heat, wait until it cools slightly, put it in a water-free and oil-free container that has been sterilized with boiling water, and seal it for storage.

Tips:
1. You can also use a strainer after it is boiled. I find it troublesome, and my daughter is going to bed at that time. It's faster and it feels very delicate.

2. Be sure to keep stirring with a spatula during the cooking process, otherwise it is easy to paste the pot, especially at the end.
