In the process of making, it is necessary to pay attention to the freshness and quality of the hawthorn to ensure that the final frosted hawthorn tastes good and delicious.
Making frosting is a crucial step in icing hawthorn. First of all, we need to prepare a pan, pour in the appropriate amount of sugar, and add some water. Heat over low heat and wait for the sugar to completely melt into a syrup and begin to bubble. At this time, we can turn off the heat, add a few drops of white vinegar, and cool a little. The purpose of this step is to increase the gloss of the frosting and achieve a better taste.
When the sugar solution has cooled slightly, we put the prepared hawthorn balls in the pot. It should be noted that if you put the hawthorn balls in the pot immediately, the skin of the hawthorn will be burned, affecting the final taste. So, be sure to let it cool a little before putting it in. Then, stir-fry the hawthorn balls constantly so that the frosting will slowly form on the surface of the hawthorn until it hangs on the hoarfrost and does not stick.
The finished iced hawthorn has a white appearance like a snowball, and it looks very cute. The frosting forms a thin layer of icing on the surface of the hawthorn, adding layers to the taste. Moreover, the delicate taste of the frosting makes you want to try it.
