How to make candied haws

Everyone is a foodie. If not, it’s because you haven’t found what you like to eat. If you want to cook the dishes you like, you have to learn. Now, let me introduce to you how to make candied haws.

1. Buy hawthorns, wash them in advance and dry them. Take a hawthorn and scrape off the black part at the bottom with a knife.

2. Next, remove the core. Take a small knife, place the middle part of the hawthorn at the bottom of the knife, and then turn it towards the tip of the knife to connect the cuts. Then hold half of the hawthorn in each hand and twist them in opposite directions to open it. Pinch the half with the core and the core will separate from the flesh. Just push it gently with a knife and it will come out. Finally, align the two halves of the hawthorn and insert them onto the bamboo skewer.

3. To make candied haws, the most critical step is actually boiling the sugar. Put rock sugar and water into a pot, bring to a boil over high heat, and melt the rock sugar. Do not stir it. You can lift the pot and shake it slightly to allow the sugar water to heat more evenly. Be sure not to shake it too much to prevent the frosting from crystallizing on the wall. After the sugar water turns into fine foam, you must not leave at this time. Look carefully at the color of the sugar. When it turns into the color of 5, that is, there is a circle of light yellow around it, quickly turn to low heat; dip some sugar with chopsticks, put them in cold water, take out and bite, if it is crispy, it means it is cooked. If the sugar is cooked well, the foam will turn into a light yellow color, and it will become stringy when you dip chopsticks in it. Turn off the heat immediately and leave the fire. Roll the skewered candied haws on it and place them on baking paper to cool.
