Cooking Steps

1. 

   Step1:I have prepared some fresh hawthorn, strawberry, kumquat and kiwi fruit to make sugar gourd. You can also prepare more and wash them first. Drain the wate

2. 

   Step2:Then deal with the hawthorn. Remove the strawberry leaves. Peel the kiwi fruit and cut it into small pieces. The Hawthorn can also be cut into two halves. Then remove the Hawthorn core. It's more convenient to cut the fruits into blocks when eating

3. 

   Step3:It should be noted that fruits such as strawberry and kiwi fruit are easy to melt when wrapped with sugar due to their large water content. If they don't absorb water, they will fail. So we can put them aside to dry after stringing. We can also use kitchen paper to absorb water. This step must not be ignored

4. 

   Step4:Just string them one by one with the prepared signature. Hawthorn, strawberry and fruit are all optional

5. 

   Step5:The next step is to cook sugar. This is the most important step in making ice sugar gourd. Be sure to carefully control the temperature and pour some hot water into the pot. Add ice sugar. Add ice sugar and water according to the ratio of 2-1. The pot I use is smaller and deeper. When you make it at home, you'd better use the larger pot. The shallow pot. It will be more convenient to operate when wrapping sugar

6. 

   Step6:Then boil it over high heat. You can use a small spoon to stir it slightly before it melts. Speed up its melting. But once it boils, you can't use anything to stir it. That's the point

7. 

   Step7:If it is stirred, it will be easy to sand. Just ↓ in the following state, there is no way to make the crystal clear ice sugar gourd

8. 

   Step8:But if you really boil all the anti sand, don't waste it. Then you'll make a mistake. Boil it until it's anti sand crystal. Pour Hawthorn directly into it and mix it. It will become sugar snowball

9. 

   Step9:After boiling, there will be a lot of bubbles. Keep boiling for a while until there are many dense bubbles. The syrup is thicker by naked eyes. And the color of sugar is slightly yellow. There is a little Caramel smell. Just turn down the fire in time. At this time, the temperature of syrup is about 150 degrees

10. 

    Step10:You can test it at this time - dip a bamboo stick in syrup. Then quickly put it into cold water. If it can form a very hard transparent outsid
