Homemade (No Additives) Hawthorn Roll

Wash the hawthorn repeatedly and boil for 3 to 5 minutes.

Remove the stems from the cooled hawthorns, remove the bottom and hawthorn seeds, put them in a blender, add an appropriate amount of water with the hawthorns, and blend into a puree.

Pour the hawthorn puree that has been passed through a fine sieve into the pot, and add the juice of at least one lemon for better color.

Add an appropriate amount of sugar, without weighing it, about 50 to 60g or so, and keep stirring.

Stir-fry over low heat until it becomes relatively thick and sticky.

Spread it on the work surface with a scraper. It was my first time doing it, so the spreading wasn't very even, but it was acceptable (the light at night doesn't look as good as the actual color).

This is the state on the evening of the second day.

Use this scraper to scrape around the edges first, then gently lift it up. I thought it would be very difficult to lift, but it turned out to be quite easy. The color is very beautiful!

So accomplished! (Photo taken in the afternoon)

Cut the hawthorn rolls into appropriately sized pieces, then gently roll them up. A plate of zero-additive (no coloring) homemade hawthorn rolls looks very beautiful, with osmanthus as a garnish (all just taken with ordinary photography).

Very fresh color, made and eaten immediately, with a sweet and sour taste.
