Tips:
1. The amount of sugar can be adjusted according to the sweetness and sourness you like. 2. Because of the large amount of sugar, it is easy to scorch the bottom, so be sure to stir constantly during operation, and the heat should be controlled well. 3. If there is a wall-breaking machine, directly use the wall-breaking machine to muddy the fruit without sieving.
