Sugar-coated Haws
1.
20 hawthorns, 200 grams of rock sugar, soak the hawthorn in salt water for 10 minutes, remove the stalks, and scrub
2.
Wear it with a bamboo stick
3.
Put the rock sugar into the water and boil on high heat. If the water is not enough, you can add it until the rock sugar is melted
4.
Keep the heat at a low temperature and keep drawing circles with a shovel until the water dries out and the sugar turns golden yellow and has a sticky feel.
5.
If you are not sure, you can put a bowl of cold boiled water next to it, dip a bamboo stick in the sugar, put it in the water and take it out again after 2 or 3 seconds, the sugar will become brittle, it means the sugar is ready.
6.
After the sugar is boiled, keep the heat to a minimum. If there is no temperature, the syrup will solidify quickly. I started to sugar the hawthorn. I kept turning the hawthorn skewers with my left hand, and poured the syrup evenly on each hawthorn with a spoon in my right hand.
7.
After being coated with syrup, keep turning the candied haws. While turning, quickly pour the prepared cold water on the candied haws repeatedly, so that the sugar will not drip into icy shapes, and it will become brittle soon.
8.
We don't have candied haws in our own house. Find a larger bowl, put both ends of the bamboo skewers on the edge of the bowl, the candied haws will hang in the air, and the sugar will not stick to the bowl.
