Frozen Fruit on a Stick: Tang Hu Lu 糖葫芦


Living in NE China this had become my favorite winter time treat. This delightful treat can only be found in the winters months. It is a simple treat that brings joy to a person during the long winter months. It is basically a stick with fruit coated in sugar. The most common type of tong hu lu is the hawthorn berry. The sourness of the berry and the sweetness of the sugar is a charming treat. Other types of tong hu lu are pineapple, tomatoes, grapes and kiwi.
