"Hawthorn is sweet in taste, slightly warm and sour in nature, and enters the spleen, stomach and liver meridians; it has the effects of digestion and strengthening the stomach, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, and expelling insects; it can prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases, dilate blood vessels, increase coronary blood flow, improve heart vitality, excite the central nervous system, reduce blood pressure and cholesterol, soften blood vessels, diuresis and sedation; it also has cardiotonic effect, which is also beneficial to senile heart disease; Hawthorn contains flavonoids, vitamin C, carotene and other substances, which can block and reduce the generation of free radicals, enhance the body's immunity, and have anti-aging and anti-cancer effects; hawthorn also contains ingredients for relieving asthma and resolving phlegm, inhibiting bacteria, and treating abdominal pain and diarrhea. Sweet and sour, children also like to eat, the daughter has two days in a row asked to spread Hawthorn jam on bread to eat

Production steps:

Step 1: wash away the dust from the fresh hawthorn, soak it in brine for about 20 minutes, and then clean it.

Step 2: get rid of the pedicle and get rid of the core. The method I used was learned from Zhan nu. That is to say, if I put the pen cap through directly, I can push out all the cores. Thanks for Zhan Nu's sharing. It's really labor-saving.

Step 3: put the Hawthorn in the casserole and add water.

Step 4: add rock sugar. I forgot to weigh it when I added it. I added yellow rock sugar, about 5-6 pieces.

Step 5: bring to a boil over high heat and simmer over low heat for about half an hour. During this time, keep stirring with a shovel and let the rock sugar melt completely.

Step 6: put the cooking machine into pieces.

Step 7: put it back into the casserole and add sugar to continue cooking. I put about half a catty. Because hawthorn is very sour, I need to put more sugar than ordinary jam. I can try it according to my own taste.

Step 8: boil until sticky, turn off the heat, wait until it is a little cold, put it into a sterilized container with boiling water and no water and oil, and seal it.

Materials required:

Hawthorn: 2 kg

Rock sugar: right amount

Sugar: half a catty
