People often say that "time flies", which really makes people unprepared. As if just immersed in the autumn of melon and fruit fragrance. Blink of an eye, the first frost is coming, and after the first frost, the taste of fresh fruit has come to an end. However, after tasting all kinds of sweet fruits, don't forget this fiery hawthorn fruit. Although it tastes sour, it reminds people that the brain nerve will immediately dominate the salivary glands to secrete saliva, which makes us unable to be as fast as other fruits.

Hawthorn is rich in vitamin C and organic acids, which can stimulate gastric mucosa to secrete gastric juice and promote protein's digestion. Eating hawthorn after meals can also stimulate appetite and promote digestion, especially if you eat too much meat and don't digest it, eating hawthorn products will soon be relieved. In addition, eating hawthorn occasionally can also prevent the occurrence of various senile diseases.

Every autumn when a large number of fruits are on the market, besides tasting all kinds of sweet fruits, I will not let go of this red hawthorn fruit. It can be made into canned hawthorn, hawthorn sauce, etc. And eat some after meals. It's sweet and sour and appetizing. However, these hawthorn products will be stored in the refrigerator for at most half a month. However, freezing fresh fruit is different. Fresh hawthorn is cleverly stored and eaten all year round. It can be used to make hawthorn cake, hawthorn sauce and canned hawthorn anytime and anywhere, especially during the Spring Festival, when meat consumption is high and exercise is low, it is a good protection for family members to eat hawthorn properly.

If fresh hawthorn is not stored properly, it will either dehydrate or rot. If you buy more hawthorn at one time and can't finish it in a short time, you can try this.
Fresh hawthorn preservation is roughly divided into six steps:
1, cleaning. First, simply wash the hawthorn, then add a small amount of flour and salt to soak it for five minutes, then rub it by hand one by one, and finally rinse it with running water to remove the dirt and residual pesticides on the surface of the hawthorn as much as possible.

2. Use nuclear energy. In order to facilitate future consumption, the core is removed in one step. There are roughly two ways to denuclearize. One method is to put hawthorn directly into water and cook it, and then squeeze out the stone after cooking. The disadvantage of this is that it is not easy to find hawthorn with eggs, and hawthorn is not shaped. The other is to eat it raw, use a special coring tool, or find a pen cap with the right size and caliber, and dig it directly, which is very simple.

Step 3 soak. Pour the pitted hawthorn into a casserole, soak it in warm water of 70-80 degrees and preheat it for two minutes, so that the pulp is not easy to spread when cooking.

4. Boil soft. Boil for two minutes after soaking, and then turn off the heat. Use the residual temperature of casserole to continue to act on hawthorn. Be careful not to use aluminum pot to avoid acid oxidation.

5. Take out and cool. When the water boils, take it out with a colander, drain it, and put it on a plate until it cools.
At this time, if you want to make hawthorn cake or hawthorn sauce, you can put the fished hawthorn into a wall-breaking machine, add a little water for boiling hawthorn to make fine hawthorn sauce, then pour it into a wok, add sugar and a few drops of lemon, and continue to cook on low heat. During the period, keep stirring with a shovel to avoid pasting the pot and cook it in a sticky state. If you eat hawthorn sauce, cool it and bottle it directly. If you make hawthorn cake, cook it for a while, let the water continue to evaporate and dry, then turn off the fire until it can't fall off on the shovel, and then pour it into the mold for molding.

6. Bag and freeze. Put it in a fresh-keeping bag. If the quantity of hawthorn is large, it should be bagged, and one bag can only be used once. Then try to evacuate the gas inside, tie the bag tightly and put it in the frozen layer of the refrigerator.
Bagged storage ▲
Fresh hawthorn can be stored for a whole year without any problems. You can take it away when you eat it, and you don't need to thaw it when you eat it. When cooking porridge, throw a few pieces into the pot, or directly add water to make hawthorn cake, hawthorn sauce and canned hawthorn, which is very convenient. The first frost has passed, can winter be far behind? The Spring Festival is also quietly coming to us. During the Spring Festival, we have a holiday at home and make delicious hawthorn cake, hawthorn sauce and canned hawthorn for our family and friends. It is not only a delicious snack, but also a good product to stimulate appetite, strengthen the spleen and help digestion.
Precautions:
When buying hawthorn, try to choose fresh hawthorn that has no insect spots and feels hard when pinched. The process of boiling water should not be too long, just soften slightly, otherwise the vitamin loss is relatively large. Let it cool and put it in a fresh-keeping bag. Don't throw away the boiling water of hawthorn. Add some rock sugar and cook it. It's sour and sweet. It is very delicious as a drink.
