Speaking of hawthorn, many people's first impression is the red, sour hawthorn in the rock sugar gourd string. In Guangxi, there is a fruit called hawthorn during October, and the red hawthorn is different from its appearance, the whole body is blue, just like the green apple, but the size is only half the size of the green apple, so it is also called green hawthorn. Raw food taste is sour and astringent, which is difficult for ordinary people to accept, so the Hakka dialect is also called "astringent pear".
But when you make a "sugar pear" (Hakka dialect), the taste is not tired of eating. When I was a child, there were no snacks to eat, and every October, shibu pears were listed in large quantities, and the price was very cheap, a few cents a pound. Mom will buy 20 pounds at a time, boil it into a sugar pear in a large iron pot with white sugar, and then put it up in a jar, and only let our five sisters eat one a day. Therefore, taking advantage of the fact that my parents were not at home, our sisters, led by our brothers, often went to steal food, and after two or three days of work, dozens of pounds of sugar pears were eaten by us.
In fact, this practice is our common canned fruit method, boiled with sugar, boiled and then packed up for preservation, syrup wrapped in fruit, making it sweet and delicious, but also able to preserve for a long time without bad.
This year back to my hometown and bought some astringent pears to Guangdong, boiled into canned fruit, put in the refrigerator to store, no appetite to come to one, eat to support one, sweet and sour, appetizing to help digestion and degreasing.
The following takes the sugar pear as an example, share a simple method of canning fruit, this practice is a universal method, autumn fruits, such as pears, hawthorn, oranges, etc., no matter what fruit, do as this method, the flesh is sweet and easy to preserve.
