Cooking Steps
Step1:Wash hawthorn. Remove the base and core. (I use the most primitive method. I cut the two halves with a knife. Then I go to the core. It's very time-consuming and laborious. Do you have a better way? Tell me in the comments. Thanks.
Step2:Put the Hawthorn into the pot. Pour in the water that hasn't passed the hawthorn. Bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes over medium low heat until hawthorn is soft.
Step3:Cooked hawthorn. It's rotten when pressed with a spoon.
Step4:The cooked hawthorn, together with the boiled water, is mashed with a cooking machine.
Step5:Well beaten Hawthorn puree. Sift it through a sieve, so that you can filter out some uncut peel.
Step6:Screening is a long process. But for the taste, it's better to screen it (you can press it on the screen with a spoon or scraper. It's also very convenient).
Step7:Pour the sifted puree into a saucepan. Add in soft white sugar and rock sugar (a little maltose can be added to increase the viscosity).
Step8:Next, it's a process that needs patience. Boil, boil, boil. Remember to use a scraper or shovel to stir constantly in the middle to prevent the pot from sticking.
Step9:It's thick. As shown in the picture, the puree can hang on the spoon and slowly fall down. It's jam when it comes out.
Step10:If we want to make hawthorn cake, we have to keep boiling until the mud is very thick. It can be hung on the scraper without falling off. It's OK
Step11:Add half of the juice squeezed out of the fresh lemon (I don't know how many grams it is. This one doesn't need to be very precise.
Step12:Turn off the fire and mix well. (it's a good puree. You can't pour it even if you put a spoon in it.
Step13:Put a plastic film on the container. Pour in the cooked Hawthorn puree and let it cool
Step14:After cooling and hardening, tear off the plastic wrap. Cut into pieces or press out various shapes with a mold.
Step15:One bite is too delicious to stop. Of course, you can't eat more. Teeth can't stand it. Ha ha
Step16:Self made. Zero addition. Eat at ease
Step17:My baby's favorite is wrapping it in paper and taking it out of the house. Sharing delicious food with children ~
Step18:Let's start to warm our family's stomach with love
Cooking tips:1. It's better not to use white sugar instead. If there is no soft white sugar, it can be replaced by ordinary white sugar. 2. The amount of sugar can be increased or decreased according to personal preference and hawthorn sweetness. 3. It's better to sift it. Although the blender can beat it very fine, there will be some peel, which will affect the taste. 4. If the mud doesn't solidify after air cooling, you can go back to the pot. Keep cooking on a low heat ~ if it still doesn't solidify, it may be that hawthorn is not fresh enough and pectin is not enough, so it can't solidify. 5. The prepared hawthorn cake can be stored at room temperature or refrigerated in the refrigerator. Because there is no additive. You have to eat it as soon as possible. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
