Hawthorn Snowball

Overview

How to cook Hawthorn Snowball at home

Rub the hawthorn with salt and soak for a few minutes to clean it.
Use a thicker straw to remove the hawthorn core.
Place in water to prevent oxidation.
Dry with kitchen paper.
Add water and rock sugar to the pot.
Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat, stirring with a spoon until the sugar dissolves and big bubbles begin to appear.
Continue to simmer over low heat, stirring constantly with a spoon until the big bubbles turn into small bubbles.
When the syrup feels thickened when stirring with a spoon, pour in the white vinegar and turn off the heat when it bubbles.
Add the hawthorn and stir quickly so that the syrup hangs on the hawthorn. After stirring for a while, the sugar becomes more and more solidified. A layer of syrup hangs on the hawthorn. After it cools completely, it turns into white frosting.
