Homemade Hawthorn Sugar Snowballs
These hawthorn sugar snowballs are delicious, with the sweetness of the sugar melting into the sourness of the hawthorn, achieving a balanced sweet and sour taste, which is very tempting. Compared to candied hawthorn hruskas, the sugar balls have a softer appearance, without being as hard and brittle, and their 'white through red' appearance is very beautiful. The texture is more delicate and supple than traditional candied hawthorn hruskas.

Instructions for Making Hawthorn Sugar Snowballs
- 1. Prepare the ingredients.
- 2. Wash and dry the hawthorns.
- 3. Use a pen to poke through the stem of the hawthorn. This makes it easy to remove the hawthorn fruit stem and seeds.
- 4. Put the white sugar and water in a pot and cook over low heat until the sugar is completely dissolved and the water evaporates. Small white bubbles appear in the pot, and 1/2 teaspoon of white vinegar and 1 spoonful of starch are added.
- 5. Quickly stir until well combined.
- 6. Pour in the processed hawthorns and immediately turn off the heat, stirring quickly with a spoon to ensure that the sugar syrup evenly coats the surface of the hawthorns.
- 7. Pour out and allow to cool completely.
- Tips
It's best to remove the seeds from the hawthorns while preserving their shape.
As the temperature of the sugar syrup decreases, white crystals will appear on the surface of the hawthorns that are coated with sugar.
