The processed hawthorn cake will not add any additives, and the pectin content of hawthorn fruit itself is quite high, which is incomparable to other fruits. As long as the amount of sugar is not too small and the cooking time is sufficient, it is still easy to form, and the processed hawthorn cake is absolutely healthy. Why not look at the specific steps? Soak 500 grams of hawthorn fruit in salt water for 10 minute, wash it and put it in the pot. To remove the core, you can borrow a hard straw or put hawthorn fruit on the chopping board, cut off both ends with a knife, then cut it in the middle, and then dig the core in the middle with a knife. Put the dug hawthorn pulp into a pot, and add white sugar and clear water (the ratio of white sugar to clear water in hawthorn is 1: 65433). You can also steam the hawthorn fruit, put it in a cooking machine, add water, stir and boil it. After crushing the hawthorn pulp with a cooking machine, pour the paste into the pot and cook it with low fire. Keep stirring to prevent the pan from burning. After the pectin is boiled, the jam will hang on the spoon, and the chopsticks will not fall into the jam. It's ripe at this time. Pour the cooked hawthorn jam into the fresh-keeping box (the fresh-keeping box can be covered with plastic wrap in advance or coated with oil evenly, so that it can be demoulded), smooth it, let it cool, then put it in the refrigerator for two hours, take it out, demould it on the chopping board, cut it into shapes you like and put it on a plate, and you can enjoy it.
