Tips:
1. Because there is no food processor, it is impossible to mash hawthorn into puree quickly, so I used a pressure cooker to cook hawthorn puree. In my mind, this electric pressure cooker is almost omnipotent. Many delicacies come from its hands, especially when making it. It is very convenient to cook the pulp into puree when making jam, which is especially time-saving.
2. When pouring the hawthorn sauce into the mold, the pouring and scraping actions must be completed in one step to make it more smooth and beautiful.
3. The amount of sugar for making jam can be added as you like. White sugar, rock sugar, maltose can be added, or one or three of them can be used together.
4. Hawthorn cake is suitable for all ages. Those with excessive gastric acid secretion should not eat it on an empty stomach. Others are not restricted.
5. Matters needing attention: Fasting for pregnant women can easily promote contractions and induce miscarriage.
