Sugar-coated Haws,is a traditional snack of China,especially Beijing.It is made by first putting cleaned haws on a prod,then dipped it into syrup stewed by crystal sugar and water,and finally taken out and dried.
The bright,lovely haws on the prod look like a string of small red lanterns,with a sweet and sour taste.The outer layer of sugar is crisp,but the haws are soft.
Although traditionally this snack only uses haws,nowadays they also have sugar-coated yam,chufa,grape,orange,and walnut kernel.But Sugar-coated Haws is the most authentic,and helps digestion while rich in Vitamin C and E.
In old days,Sugar-coated Haws can be bought from street peddlers everywhere.Times have changed,and you need to visit a certain shop now for it.
