Introduction:

"Hawthorn season, hawthorn season, every autumn is the season of Hawthorn harvest. A Gu usually does not like to eat sweet and sour things like preserves, but has a special preference for hawthorn and sweet osmanthus. When it comes to hawthorn, a Gu loves ice sugar gourd, hawthorn slice, hawthorn bar As long as it's something to do with hawthorn. I've always wanted to make Hawthorn snacks, but it seems that hawthorn is rare in Shanghai.

Note: making Hawthorn sauce has several notes and experience to share: about the Hawthorn to seed, Hawthorn Seeds concentrated in the heart of the four parts of the position, you can use a small one big ordinary Chinese chopsticks, first use the small one from the stem of Hawthorn to insert through the hawthorn, and then use the big one to insert again, to the center of the position when about a poke, so that the seed is removed It's too late. Another way is to cut the meat into small pieces with a knife just like an apple, leaving a core in the middle. It's a little wasteful, but it's more convenient and faster. As for the treatment after seed removal, the Hawthorn after seed removal should be squeezed with lemon juice to prevent oxidation. The next step is to mash hawthorn. If you have a cooking machine, it's best. However, a Gu's family only has a shredder more than ten years ago, so you can make do with it. If you like delicate jam, you'd better smash Hawthorn mud and make it into granular jam. As for cooking Hawthorn sauce, AGU likes to use rock sugar, but it's better to melt rock sugar into sugar water first, otherwise it's easy to scratch the inner wall of the toaster, or use white granulated sugar to replace it. Of course, the amount is optional. AGU's suggestion is to put some sugar first, boil it for a while, and then taste the sweetness, adjust the sugar added behind, but hawthorn is very sour, and want to eat sweet, Sugar really a lot, not greedy oh. Then start to boil, boil to thick shape, add some sugar osmanthus, put some dried osmanthus in the final finish, great. Finally, we talk about the storage of Hawthorn sauce. The container is boiled with boiling water, dried, filled with hawthorn sauce, covered and buckled to form a vacuum state, which can be stored for a period of time.
