How to keep hawthorn snowballs from melting

1. Open the package

Sugar-fried hawthorns are generally not easy to melt when stored at room temperature below 20 degrees Celsius, but why do many people buy sugar-fried hawthorns that can't be kept for more than a day? Since temperature is not a problem, then it is a moisture problem. Don't just leave the sugar-fried hawthorns you bought. Open the package and put them in a ventilated place. Because if you don't open the package, the evaporated water vapor will adhere to the surface of the sugar-fried hawthorns, which will accelerate the melting. Therefore, you must open the package and store it.

2. Put it in the refrigerator

If it is a season or region with relatively high temperature, it will melt even if it is kept in ventilation, and it needs to be stored in the refrigerator. Because there are two factors that affect the melting of sugar-fried hawthorn, one is temperature and the other is water, but in fact, temperature is the premise. If the temperature is very high, it will melt even without water, because the temperature reaches the melting point of sugar. Therefore, when the temperature is relatively high, sugar-fried hawthorn should still be stored in the refrigerator.

3. Buy and eat now

For freshly made sugar-fried snacks like sugar-fried hawthorn, the best way to preserve them is of course to eat them right after purchase. Because no matter how well the snow layer on the outer layer of sugar-fried hawthorn is preserved, it will not look the same as when it was just out of the pot after a period of time, and the taste will be different, so it is best to make it and eat it right after!

How to make hawthorn snowballs

1. Boil sugar water: Put all the rock sugar and water into a clean pot, and simmer slowly over low heat. Stir constantly to prevent the bottom of the pot from getting stuck, and to make the rock sugar dissolve faster, until all the rock sugar is melted. After the rock sugar in the pot is completely melted, be patient and don't be anxious. Stir while boiling. At this time, small bubbles will slowly appear in the pot.

2. Watch as dense bubbles gradually appear in the sugar water and the sugar juice becomes viscous. Then pour the white vinegar into the sugar liquid and stir it quickly (the purpose of pouring the white vinegar is to make the sugar juice crystallize quickly and neutralize the sweetness of the rock sugar). This is a very important step. You must be patient and stir it evenly. While stirring, the water vapor will gradually disappear.

3. At this time, pour the cleaned hawthorns into the sugar solution and turn off the heat. Do not stop and continue to stir-fry evenly so that the surface of the hawthorns is evenly covered with sugar solution. Continue to stir-fry and do not stop.

4. As the temperature of the sugar liquid decreases, the sugar liquid on the surface of the hawthorn gradually crystallizes. At this time, continue to stir-fry to allow the sugar liquid in the pot to continue to hang on the surface of the hawthorn until all the sugar liquid is gone.

5. As the temperature of the sugar liquid decreases, more and more crystals appear on the surface of the hawthorn, until the temperature cools down completely, and then snow-white hawthorn snowballs are made safely and successfully.

Tips for making hawthorn snowballs

Many people fail to make hawthorn snowballs because they don't have a good grasp of the ratio of water to sugar, boil the sugar for too long or too short, or the temperature is not well controlled. The syrup must be cooled quickly after boiling to make it as frosty as sand. When cleaning hawthorns, it will be better to remove the core of the hawthorns. It is more convenient to use a core remover. If you don't have one, you can use a pen or a knife. The surface moisture of the hawthorns must be wiped dry, otherwise the syrup will not be able to hold.
