Sugar-coated haws were actually invented as medicines to treat diseases. During the Southern Song Dynasty, concubines did not think about tea and rice, abdominal distension and pain, and their bodies became thinner. They sought treatment all over the country, and a charlatan revealed the list. Finally, they wrote a prescription and cooked hawthorn and rock sugar together. The princess returned to her original state after eating it. Later spread to the people. For the convenience of use, people strung hawthorn one by one to form today's sugar-coated haws.
Sugar-coated haws should have appeared in everyone's childhood, especially in TV dramas, and there must be sugar-coated haws in costume dramas. The biggest temptation of sugar-coated haws is the sweet and sour taste! Later, strawberries, kumquat, yam bean, and various fruits came online one after another. Very simple, everything can be "Sugar-Coated Berry"!
At the turn of autumn and winter, it is the harvest season of hawthorn. At this time, "candied haws" can be seen in the streets and alleys. Hawthorn has the effect of beauty and slimming, which can be said to be slimming fruit. Hawthorn contains vitamin C, carotene and other substances, which can block and reduce the production of free radicals, enhance the body's immunity, and have anti-aging and anti-cancer effects.
Sugar-coated haws are delicious and easy to make. Of course, there are some necessary tips. Taking advantage of the rest, Xiaozi made some candied haws, which were not only clean but also delicious.
Ingredients: hawthorn, bamboo sticks, grapes, white sesame seeds, rock sugar and oranges.
Exercise 1. Prepare ingredients
2. Wash the hawthorn and remove the pedicle.
3. Cut the hawthorn from the middle and remove the core.
4. Fill hawthorn with bean paste.
5. Cover the hawthorn filled with bean paste with the cut half.
6. Wear it with a bamboo stick. Here, I suggest you eat short bamboo sticks at home, so that the rock sugar can be wrapped evenly.
7. Prepare 150g rock sugar and the same weight of water. The ratio of water to rock sugar is 1: 1. White sugar can be used, but it is easier to heat than rock sugar, and its color is easy to turn yellow or black.
8. Put the rock sugar and water into the pot, heat it over medium heat, and don't stir. When the rock sugar is dissolved, it takes about 5-7 minutes to boil it. Patience, low heat. Never stir with a shovel, but you can shake the pot from time to time. Sprinkle a little cooked white sesame seeds into the pot.
9. Take a bunch of Sugar-Coated Berry and wrap it in a sugar jar, so that each hawthorn is covered with sugar. Finish in turn. Take it out quickly and put it on the oiled chopping board. Sugar-Coated Berry is allowed to cool for about 10 minute.

Tip 1. Tips for verifying whether the rock sugar is ripe: prepare a bowl of cold water, stick the rock sugar in the pot with chopsticks, and then quickly put it into the cold water. The crystal sugar solution can agglomerate quickly, and it is the brittle hardness, that is, it is enough to knock your teeth with a giggle sound.
2. Hawthorn can also be replaced with strawberries, oranges, apples, cherry tomatoes and other fruits, which are equally delicious.
3. wrap sugar to see your hand speed. Remember to eat it quickly, otherwise the hawthorn will harden when it is cooked with syrup, and you can't make a few candied haws.
4. If you don't have a bamboo stick, you can string it with a toothpick, which is very cute.
5. Hawthorn has the function of promoting blood circulation to remove blood stasis and stimulating uterine contraction, which is not suitable for pregnant women.
