What does tanghulu taste like?

Tanghulu has a glassy, crunchy sugar shell around juicy, tart fruit, so each bite is sweet, then sour. Hawthorn is tart and lightly tangy, while strawberry is sweeter and juicier.

How do you make tanghulu at home?

Skewer dry fruit, boil sugar and water to hard-crack stage (about 300 F), dip each skewer quickly, then let it cool on parchment until the shell hardens. Hot sugar can cause severe burns, so take care.

What fruits are used for tanghulu?

Traditional tanghulu uses hawthorn berries. Strawberries, grapes, tangerine segments, kiwi and mango are popular modern choices.

How should I store tanghulu?

Keep frozen tanghulu in the freezer until ready to eat and follow the package directions for thawing. Homemade tanghulu is best eaten within a few hours because the shell softens as the fruit releases moisture.

What is the difference between tanghulu and candied hawthorn?

Tanghulu is the Chinese name for fruit candied on a skewer, and candied hawthorn is the traditional version of it. Many Weee! products are labeled candied hawthorn or sugar gourd, as with Bestore Hawthorn Sugar Gourd Tanghulu.

Every time I see candied hawthorns in period dramas on TV, I really want to try them, so I buy some to test them out. The packaging doesn't contain any wood chips, and the manufacturing date is on the packaging, so they're not expired. The candied hawthorns are crispy, sweet and sour, and quite delicious. I bought them for my kids during the Chinese New Year so they could experience a Chinese tradition.

This hawthorn candied hawthorn isn't too sweet, yet it still tastes like hawthorn, and it's individually packaged. Convenient and clean to take away.

Very delicious treat! The package size and the amount that it came with was way more than I thought I was going to get. It tastes like a hawthorn candy on a stick. It is mainly chewy and kind of hard to bite off the stick. Good price for what you get as well.
