Sugar snowballs are made by putting washed hawthorn into boiled white sugar water and quickly stir-frying, so that the white sugar is fried into frosting and evenly hung on the hawthorn. The sugar snowball will be covered with a layer of white icing, which looks like snowflakes in winter, so it is named sugar snowball. The prepared sugar snowball tastes sour and sweet, which is very appetizing, so many families like to use it as a small snack for children. In winter, it is the best season to eat hawthorn candy snowballs, but you always buy outside, so you might as well make them at home! It doesn't matter if you don't hang frost. Today, I will share with you how to make a perfect hawthorn sugar snowball at home.
The ingredients are very simple, namely hawthorn, rock sugar and white vinegar.
first, wash the hawthorn, and then use chopsticks or an artifact to remove the core. The trouble in front of me is to eat it at last, one bite at a time, and it's refreshing, so don't worry about putting it to your teeth. Hawthorn can be pitted faster, as long as it is poked like this.
soak the pitted hawthorn in clear water first, otherwise it will be easily oxidized.
let's start boiling sugar. let's talk about rock candy or white sugar, water and white vinegar (the ratio of hawthorn to sugar is 1: .5, and the ratio of sugar to water is 1g and 1ml), that is, 2g of hawthorn is mixed with 1ml of water of 1g of rock candy and one spoonful of white vinegar, which is just a white spoon commonly used at home.
Next, let's match the ratio of rock sugar and water.
Cook slowly in a medium-small fire, stirring while cooking. This requires patience. Don't worry. It is recommended to find a TV series and stir while watching it until all the sugar melts and the water evaporates.
when small bubbles appear evenly, add white vinegar.
Be sure to wait until the water evaporates and the sugar begins to thicken and even small bubbles appear. If it is still thin, the spatula will come down immediately
Then turn off the fire and pour in the hawthorn drained in advance.
Start stirring, because the sugar water is thick, and it may be a little laborious to stir. I used a new non-stick pan, so I didn't dare to use an iron spoon.
until the hawthorn is covered with frosting and no longer sticky, you can go out of the pot! To tell you the truth, cooking food is a hard job. I was doing it, and my mouth was watering. I quickly came to one while it was hot, sweet and sour. It's no different from what the outside store sells. It's as sweet and sour as it is delicious, and it's still pitted, so you can eat it with confidence and boldness!
