Overview

Hey! Beat (just·) is without Hu (He) "Tianjin dialect". . . . . This is an old cry for candied haws on a stick. As time goes by, the candied haws on a stick still stands in the streets and alleys relying on its strong character, and is widely loved and sought after by everyone. It is also because of the passage of time and the continuous improvement of people's living standards that the traditional winter delicacy of candied haws has undergone subtle changes in variety. Many other types of small fruits have been incorporated into the candied haws family to replace hawthorn, so that it is no longer difficult for everyone to adjust. In fact, I personally still think that using hawthorn as the main ingredient is the most traditional and flavorful. It also symbolizes our prosperous days. Candied haws on a stick is made by skewering wild fruits with bamboo skewers and then dipping them in maltose syrup. The syrup hardens quickly when exposed to the wind. The result is a crispy, sweet, sour, and beautiful candied haws. The ancient practice began during the Song Dynasty, which has been recorded in history, and became popular in various places during the Qing Dynasty. It can be seen everywhere in teahouses, theaters, and streets and alleys, and has now become a traditional snack in my country. Sugar-coated haws on sugar-coated haws is suitable for all ages. It has the functions of appetizing, beautifying, increasing intelligence, eliminating fatigue, and clearing away heat. It is also a beautiful memory of childhood for people of all periods. People born in the 1980s will think of the lyrics of the familiar folk song "Candied Haws". They all say that the candied haws is sour, but the sourness is wrapped in sweetness. They all say that the candied haws is sweet, but the sweetness is covered with sour. The candied haws are beautiful. The candied haws are pierced with bamboo sticks, symbolizing happiness and reunion. Happiness and reunion are connected in a string, so there will be no worries or troubles. What philosophical lyrics, what they sing is actually our life, sometimes it is good, sometimes it is sweet, of course, if you catch the bad fruit, you will still feel bitter. This is life, and using candied haws to describe it is particularly appropriate. Of course, today's candied haws, there are also some disadvantages. Just like gutter oil, some businessmen will also put some additives in the production process. Yes, rock candy is brittle and does not like to melt. Regardless of whether additives are used, I think they are all bad. After all, it is a product of industrialization, so love is the old view. For the sake of my family and myself, I might as well make some myself! Haha, there are three steps to thread the skewers, boil the sugar to make it thin, and dip it into the sugar. Get started!

  4. Boiling the syrup is also the most critical step. The quality of the syrup determines whether the candied haws stick to the teeth, whether it is crispy, and whether it looks good. Ingredients: A little osmanthus, a little sesame, one pound of rock sugar, two pounds of water. Put the sugar first and then the water, then turn on the heat. After the water boils, simmer it until it turns amber. Turn off the heat. When the heat is too high, it will turn into sand and turn into sugar sticks.
