Homemade Hawthorn Canned Fruit

Homemade Hawthorn Canned Fruit

Whole hawthorns blanched, pitted, then simmered in a white and rock sugar syrup and jarred, making a jewel-red preserve of bright, sweet-tart fruit in glistening syrup.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Rinse the hawthorn repeatedly (the hawthorn bought this time is relatively large).

  2. 2
    Step image

    Pour a bottle of purified water into a pot and boil the hawthorn for 3 minutes.

  3. 3

    Take out the hawthorn and use a tool to remove the core of the hawthorn.

    White sugar, rock sugar.

  5. 5
    Step image

    This is the water from just boiled hawthorn, with white sugar and rock sugar added and cooked until dissolved.

  6. 6
    Step image

    Then add the pitted hawthorn and cook for 10 minutes (the variety of hawthorn also differs; the ones bought last time were harder and needed to be cooked longer, but this time it was not the case).

  7. 7

    Cook until the soup is thick.

  8. 8
    Step image

    Let the soup cool until thick, the hawthorn fruit is dark red, with no additives.

  9. 9
    Step image

    Put it into a bottle that has been washed clean and disinfected with white liquor; the hawthorn is bright red in color.

    Step image

    Homemade hawthorn jam is bright and rosy, smooth and delicate in texture, with a moderate sweet and sour taste.
