Sugar gourd home-cooked method.
Sugar gourd is a traditional Chinese snack that is sweet and sour and delicious, and is loved by people. Let's introduce the home-style practice of sugar gourd.
Ingredients: 200 grams of fresh hawthorn.
50 grams of rock sugar.
50 ml of water.
Steps:1Prepare the ingredients: Wash the fresh hawthorn, remove the pits, dry and set aside. Prepare rock sugar and water at the same time.
2.Boiling the syrup: Put the rock sugar and water in a pot and bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the syrup becomes viscous and has a pale yellow color.
3.Syrup: Skewer the hawthorn on a bamboo skewer and quickly wrap the syrup evenly over the hawthorn so that each hawthorn is covered in syrup.
4.Cool: Place the syrup-coated sugar gourd on a baking sheet and allow to cool until the syrup is set.
5.Finish: Once the sugar gourd has cooled completely, it is ready to serve.
Tips:1When choosing hawthorn, choose a fresh, moth-free, evenly sized hawthorn fruit.
2.When boiling the syrup, the heat should be mastered to avoid scorching the syrup. At the same time, stir constantly during the boiling process to avoid the syrup sticking to the pan.
3.Wrap the syrup quickly so that the syrup does not cool and solidify. At the same time, make sure that each hawthorn is evenly coated with syrup to avoid the situation that some are too sweet and some are too light.
4.The texture and taste of sugar gourds may be affected by temperature and humidity, so it is recommended to make them in dry weather and store them at room temperature.
5.If you want a different flavor of sugar gourd, you can add some jam or other seasonings to the syrup.
