Every winter, when I see the fresh Hawthorn in the market, I will buy some to make canned hawthorn and hawthorn juice. The cooked hawthorn is soft, waxy, sour and sweet, appetizing and spleen invigorating; the sweet and sour hawthorn juice is not only a direct drink, but also my secret seasoning. It can replace vinegar to make cold dishes. It's really delicious.
Step1:Wash and remove hawthorn. Use the square head of chopsticks to poke Hawthorn Seeds from the top of hawthorn (you can also use puff mouth or pen cap to remove seeds). After all seeds are removed, rinse them with water.
Step2:Put Hawthorn in the pot. Add water.
Step3:Add sugar. Boil for another 15 minutes.
Step4:The cooked hawthorn is delicious when it's hot or cold. It's sour, sweet, spleen invigorating and appetizing.
Step5:Hawthorn juice can be filtered out and bottled. It can be drunk directly. It can also be used as seasoning. I like to use hawthorn juice instead of vinegar. People who have eaten my tasty mixed vegetables often ask why it tastes better than the ones outside. One of them is that it works.
Cooking tips:I mainly want hawthorn juice here. If I just want to make a can, I need to reduce the amount of water and the cooking time by 10 minutes. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
