Zero-failure hawthorn snowballs, the most common snack in winter, are simple and easy to make
Overview
The weather is getting colder, and candied haws and hawthorn snowballs are slowly appearing in the streets and alleys. When buying and eating, I always worry about whether the hawthorns have been washed well. Don’t worry about these anymore. Making them yourself is actually not difficult at all.

Ingredients
Steps
-
Wash the hawthorn and soak in salt water for half an hour, then rinse, drain, and weigh the rock sugar and set aside.
-
Pour rock sugar and water into a non-stick pan at a ratio of 1:1.
-
Heat over medium heat. Be sure to stir constantly while heating to prevent sugar color from forming at the bottom.
-
Fry until it is a little thick and a thin layer can be caught on a spatula. (The electric ceramic stove I used here takes about 28-30 minutes)
-
At this time, add a little vinegar, mix quickly, turn off the heat and let it sit for 1-2 minutes, until the small bubbles in the middle disappear.
-
Pour the hawthorn in, there must be no water! ! !
-
Stir quickly to coat each hawthorn with syrup.
-
Soon every hawthorn will be covered with snow.
