Sugar-coated haws are our traditional snacks, especially when visiting the park in the New Year, children will buy sugar-coated haws. Not only does red mean good, but hawthorn is sour or sweet. Hawthorn is wrapped in syrup, which is sour and sweet. Hawthorn is a kind of food that helps gastrointestinal peristalsis and appetizers. Children eat hawthorn every once in a while, and they have a good appetite and taste, so they don't choose to eat it. Especially candied haws, give children a bunch of candied haws. I eat a lot at night.
The main components of sugar-coated haws are hawthorn and white sugar. The method is also very simple, but there are three delicious techniques: first, there are many varieties of hawthorn, and I dare not choose any big one, with no black spots on the skin, bright red color, few hawthorn seeds and much pulp. Dark red hawthorn is a hawthorn that has not been exposed to the sun and tastes sour. Second, the core of hawthorn, sugar-coated haws and hawthorn is also the focus. The core of hawthorn is composed of many small hawthorn seeds, and there is not much meat. You can use a enucleator or a big straw to enucleate. Hawthorn is easy to change color after core removal, so it needs to be soaked in water or isolated from the air to prevent oxidation. The best way to remove the stone is to coat it with syrup. Third, boil syrup. Sugar-coated haws, like to eat frost, can boil white sugar into snowflakes, and there is a syrup that turns amber after boiling for a long time. This is a traditional syrup commonly used in sugar-coated haws. After mastering the skills, let's share the practice:
Sugar-coated gourd ingredients: fresh hawthorn, sugar. Auxiliary tools, hawthorn seeder, bamboo stick. Fresh hawthorn is natural in color, not drooping and not rotting.
Step 1: Choose fresh hawthorn, which is big, and then use the hawthorn seeder to remove the hawthorn core. If there is no seeder, you can use a big drink straw instead of a seeder.
Step 2: put a little salt into the pitted hawthorn, soak it in drinking water for 3 minutes, take it out and drain it. Salt can not only clean the dust on the hawthorn skin, but also clean the insects on the hawthorn.
Step 3: String the hawthorn with bamboo sticks, and the mouth of the hawthorn should be consistent, which is more convenient and beautiful when pouring syrup.
Step 4: Pour the white sugar into the pot, add a proper amount of drinking water, bring to a boil, turn to low heat and cook until it becomes thick, and turn off the fire. The ratio of sugar to water is 2: 1, which means that 100g of sugar needs 50g of drinking water.
Step 5: After the syrup is cooked, put the hawthorn string with a spoon, pour the syrup on it and balance the syrup. Then lay it flat with plastic wrap, cool and solidify until it is wrapped, and you can eat it.
Tips 1。 Choose hawthorn. The redder the color, the sweeter it is. Don't use turquoise hawthorn, it will be bitter. The big hawthorn is easy to stone and thick, so it is better to choose the big one than the small one. 2. Use low heat when boiling syrup. If you stir-fry the syrup, it will appear white. Boil amber syrup without frying. 3. When the hawthorn is pitted, it should be turned down from the side of the hawthorn pedicle until it passes through the hawthorn, and the hawthorn will come out.
