Edible hawthorn flower

Edible hawthorn flower

Tart hawthorn fruit pureed, strained, and slowly cooked down with sugar and lemon into a glossy ruby-red paste, then shaped into delicate edible flowers.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Rinse the hawthorns repeatedly, put them in a pot and boil for 3 to 5 minutes, then let them cool so that the stems and bottoms can be easily removed. Next, remove the hawthorn pits, and after the hawthorns are prepared, put them into a blender, add an appropriate amount of water, and blend into a puree.

    After the hawthorn puree is passed through a fine sieve, put it into a pot and stir continuously, then add an appropriate amount of sugar and the juice of one lemon and continue stirring.

    The moisture is decreasing and it is becoming more viscous. When simmered, the scrapped extraction of hawthorn paste forms a chamfer and drips down until it stops.

    After letting the hawthorn puree cool, use this scraper to spread it on the countertop (my countertop is stainless steel) and let it sit for a day.
