Toffee fruits on sticks are popular in the northern parts of China.
They are made of various kinds of small fruits--haws,crabapples,water chestnuts,grapes or yam.First the fruits are trimmed and cleaned,they are then stringed one after another on a slender bamboo stick and coated in a bath of rock-sugar syrup.As soon as the toffee hardens,the tanghulu is ready.A tanghulu is generally made of six or seven of such fruits or,in the case of yam,one length of 5 or 6 inches.With the crisp sugar coating,it looks bright and inviting,and it generally tastes sweet and sourish.
Toffee fruits on sticks appear on the street corners in autumn and winter;sold by hawkers,they are welcomed and enjoyed by both old and young.
