How long should the hawthorn cake be cooked to be considered good?

After stirring the cooked hawthorn jam with a spatula and lifting it up, it will slowly flow, stay on the spatula for about 1 second and then slowly fall down. Once the jam begins to become granular, it means it has been overcooked and has too little water, so the hawthorn cake will not have a delicate taste after solidification.

Boiling hawthorn jam is also a job that tests your patience. You need to stir it constantly and observe the state of the jam carefully. If you have a heatable wall-breaking food processor at home, you can use it to complete this process. Be careful not to put too much water in the early stage (the ratio of hawthorn to water is about 3:1). Generally, I will choose the "rice paste" function, which can quickly beat the hawthorn into a delicate and smooth texture, while also having a boiling function. If you feel that the hawthorn jam is too thin after boiling, you can repeat the "rice paste" process.
