Lao Fang told us that although the production of candied haws is not complicated, it still requires certain skills. The candied haws they make pay great attention to "fruit selection". They have to pick out the small ones, the ones with bugs, and the ones that are not "round", then wash them clean, and use a knife to remove the core and pedicle. And when removing the core, do not remove the fruit. Cutting hawthorn requires certain skills. Stringing the candied haws on skewers is also very particular. The bamboo or wooden skewers used must be smooth, clean, and even in thickness. When threading hawthorns, use the largest one for the top one, and the smaller ones for the lower ones. Don't go small, big, small, or small, otherwise it won't be "smooth" when you look at it and eat it. Common sense: "Luji Tanghulu" is only available from October 1st of the current year until it closes on March 1st of the following year. So if you want to eat, you must taste the authentic food during this time!
