Fried red fruits in old Beijing
(97963 views)
Up to now, I've been wondering why the fried red fruit, which has won the title of the old Beijing specialty and the palace snack of the Qing Dynasty, is not called boiled red fruit or sugar water red fruit . Obviously, it's cooked with hawthorn, white sugar and water. Because it's the first time to make fried red fruits. In the process of cooking, I have been standing at the kitchen table to observe. I watched the Hawthorn grow a little longer with the cooking time. My heart began to get flustered and wonder if I bought the dyed Hawthorn by myself. But after turning off the fire, the soup cooled a little. It seemed that the decoloured Hawthorn had returned to a beautiful red color. A hanging heart fell to the ground. Later, Baidu said that this situation could be avoided without a lid when cooking. Although the method of fried red fruit is simple, it has the function of appetizing, relieving food and softening blood vessels. It is especially suitable for appetizer before meal or snack for leisure. Learn to add a touch of color to the table.

Cooking Steps
Step1:The Hawthorn should be cleaned in advance to remove the core and pedicle with the help of a pen cap. Then, it should be rinsed again to remove the residual pulp residue.
Step2:Sprinkle white sugar on the treated hawthorn and marinate for a while (this step can be omitted).
Step3:Add 400ml water (not more than most Hawthorn). Cover the pot and boil for 30 minutes.
Step4:After 30 minutes, the soup will turn beautiful red. Turn off the fire and let it cool, and the taste will be better.
Cooking tips:1. The proportion of hawthorn and sugar given by you in all the fried red fruits is 2-1. This time, I slightly reduced the amount of sugar. The newly cooked red fruits are slightly sour and the soup is slightly sweet. After refrigerated, the soup is just sweet. You can adjust the proportion as you like. 2. The newly cooked Hawthorn will look as if it is decolorized. When the soup is cool, it will return to beautiful red. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
