Tips:
1. Hawthorn is very sour, so the sugar should not be too little. You can taste more by yourself to determine the amount of sugar;
2. It is not necessary to use a blender, but the pulp should be chopped more, the cooking time should be correspondingly longer, and the amount of water should also be appropriately increased;
3. Hawthorn sauce made without a blender will have a grainy flesh, not very delicate, depending on your own preferences;
