Although hawthorn is a fruit, few people eat it directly. Generally, it is mostly processed semi-finished products, such as hawthorn slices, hawthorn rolls or hawthorn cakes. Hawthorn itself is low in calories, but it will be greatly increased after processing. The reason is that hawthorn itself is sour. If you want to make sweet and sour food, you need to add a lot of sugar. Adding too much sugar will undoubtedly increase the intake of a lot of sugar, which will not only easily lead to excessive sugar.
In addition to products such as hawthorn rolls, hawthorn cakes and hawthorn slices, there are also common hawthorn foods such as Sugar-Coated Berry and candied snowballs. The difference between the two is that the former is deep processing and the latter is simple processing, and the nutrients are retained to the greatest extent. These foods are usually bought outside, and the prices are relatively expensive. For example, the price of a string of candied haws is basically four or five yuan, while the price of a catty of candied haws snowballs is about ten yuan, which is enough to buy.
Fresh hawthorn looks the same, but there are differences. According to taste, it can be divided into sweet and sour. But there are many sour hawthorn on the market. Sweet hawthorn generally has a smooth surface and is pink, which tastes a little sweet, while sour hawthorn is slightly larger and tastes very sour. Although the taste is slightly different, there is no difference in nutritional value.
Autumn is the season when hawthorn comes on the market in large quantities, and red fresh hawthorn is also very popular. Buying some homemade candied haws or candied snowballs is a very good appetizer. Making it yourself is not only healthy and hygienic, but also reduces the cost and is safe to eat. Next, we share the practice of a candied snowball, which is very simple to make. A pot of spleen-invigorating and appetizing snacks can be made in a few minutes, which is sweet and sour.
700g of fresh hawthorn, 0/50g of white sugar/kloc, 0/50g of crystal sugar/kloc, 0/50g of clear water/kloc, and 25g of white vinegar or lemon juice.
1. Prepare the materials needed to make sugar snowballs. Soak hawthorn in clear water with a little edible salt for a while, then smear salt on the surface of hawthorn, rinse it, drain the water and dry it. After the hawthorn is dried, cut off both ends with a knife.
2. Pour the sugar and water into the pot and simmer on low heat until the sugar water bubbles up. At this time, you can add white vinegar or lemon juice, and then continue to cook for one or two minutes and turn off the heat. Pour the hawthorn into the pot and make the hawthorn even. Wrapped in sugar juice.
3. When the hawthorn and sugar juice are mixed, gently stir and slowly stir out the white icing. As the temperature decreases, the sugar juice will slowly solidify into icing. When the hawthorn is evenly coated with sugar, there is no need to turn it over. When the hawthorn is completely cold, the sugar snowball will be ready.
1. Sugar snowballs can be made of rock sugar, white sugar, or mixed foods. When the sugar juice has fine bubbles, add white vinegar or lemon juice to turn off the heat.
2. When mixing the hawthorn and the sugar juice, move it as slowly as possible so that the hawthorn is evenly wrapped by the sugar juice, and the sugar juice does not need to be mixed after being cooled into sugar coating.
Don't make too many sugar snowballs at once. Eat and cook. If you can't eat it all at once, you can put it in the refrigerator.
