Stir occasionally while heating.

Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature (a meat thermometer can also work).

While the sugar is heating, wash the hawthorn berries and dry them thoroughly.

Place the berries on parchment paper.

You can cut off the leaves or leave them on the berries.

Once the sugar reaches 140°C, turn off the heat.

Dip the hawthorn berries into the hot sugar syrup carefully, as it is very hot.

The berries will be ready after 2 minutes, coated in a hard sugar shell.

The sugar shell will harden for about 2 hours.
