Bright red in color, with perfect sweet-and-sour taste, tanghulu is a popular traditional snack in most parts of northern China． In the past, people mainly used the hawthorn berries (山楂) to make tanghulu． But now, people prefer to use other fruits like oranges, bananas, grapes and strawberries． To make some perfect tanghulu, you can follow these steps:

Prepare what you need:

Hawthorn berries or other fruits, white sugar and water．

Step 1

Start off by washing the hawthorn berries or any other fruits you choose． Once done, dry the fruits． Don’t forget this step．

Step 2

Put the fruits on bamboo sticks． If you use long sticks, put 4—6 pieces of fruits on each stick． If you use short ones, 1—3 pieces are enough．

Step 3

Add water and white sugar to a pan and then mix them well． Heat the pan until bubbles (气泡) appear and the color changes． When doing this, you can test the temperature of the mixture by dipping (浸) a spoon of the mixture in cold water． When the mixture hardens (变硬) immediately, it is at the right temperature． It is the key to making your perfect tanghulu．

Step 4

Now, dip each fruit stick into the sugar mixture to easily coat the fruits． Remember to turn it so that all sides are covered．

Step 5

Once done, place each stick on a plate． Remember to leave enough space between each other to stop them from sticking together． After a few minutes, you can taste them．
