Hawthorn Candy Snowball

Step 1

Wash 100 grams of hawthorn with clean water and drain the water; use a knife to remove the hawthorn stem and clean the impurities in the depression at the other end; put the pot on the fire and add 50 grams of rock sugar or white sugar

Step 2

Pour in 50 ml of boiled water; cook over medium-low heat, stirring the melted rock sugar juice with a spatula (Tips 1: Stir constantly with a spatula when boiling sugar water to prevent the sugar juice from sticking to the pot and affecting the taste); cook until the rock sugar or white sugar is completely melted, the water evaporates, and tiny white bubbles appear in the pot, then pour in 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar (Tips 2: Pouring in white vinegar can make the sugar juice crystallize quickly and can also neutralize the sweetness of the white sugar)

Step 3

Use a spatula to stir the white vinegar and rock sugar juice evenly; pour in the cleaned hawthorn, turn off the heat immediately, and stir quickly with a spatula (Tips 3: Turn off the heat immediately after adding the hawthorn, and stir with a spatula, never stir with the heat on. The first time I stirred with the heat on, the hawthorn broke into pieces); Make sure the surface of the hawthorn is evenly covered with sugar juice, and continue stirring
