Hawthorn is a common food with high nutritional value. It is rich in vitamin C, carotene and other substances, which can enhance the body's immunity, anti-aging and anti-cancer effects; it also has the effects of lowering blood pressure, lowering lipids, and removing harmful bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. However, pregnant women, children, those with excessive gastric acid secretion, those with weak spleen and stomach, and those suffering from dental diseases should not eat more.

Gotan peel is also a small snack that I often ate when I was a child. It has a chewy texture, moderate sour and sweetness, which is both appetizing and providing calories. Today I will revisit my childhood and make fruit tannins by myself.

Ingredients

600g Hawthorn
400g White Sugar
About 400g Shimizu

Homemade Gotan Peel

1. After soaking the hawthorn in salt water for ten minutes, rinse it off

2. Remove the stalk and core, the net weight of hawthorn meat is about 490 grams

3. Put the hawthorn meat into the cooking machine cup, add clean water, and select the "sauce" program

4. Hawthorn meat turns into hawthorn paste

5. Pour the hawthorn paste into a non-stick wok, add fine sugar, and boil for about 15 minutes on medium-low heat

6. The sugar melts, the excess water evaporates, and the hawthorn sauce is as thick as tomato sauce, just turn off the heat

7. Lay greased paper on the baking tray in advance, pour the hawthorn sauce into the baking tray, and use a scraper to scrape it down. The thickness is about 6, 7 mm; it can be divided into two plates.

8. Put the baking tray into the middle of the oven, 100 degrees, up and down, hot air circulation, 1-2 hours

9. Baked, let cool

10. Tear off the greased paper and trim the edges

11. Cut into strips of uniform width

Tips:
1. The hawthorn meat is softened in a microwave oven with medium heat, and then it is beaten into a paste in a cooking cup. You can add less water and make it easier to cook;
2. This amount can be made for two plates;
3. If you want a smooth surface, you can directly pour it into a non-stick baking pan without spreading grease paper;
4. Use an oven to speed up the evaporation of water in the hawthorn sauce. If there is no oven, you can spread the sauce and dry it naturally at room temperature, but it takes a long time, generally about 24 hours;
5. This recipe is moderately sweet and sour, and can increase or decrease the amount of sugar according to personal taste.
