Tanghulu (/tɑːŋ.hulu/ⓘ) or tang hulu (simplified Chinese: 糖葫芦; traditional Chinese: 糖葫蘆; pinyin: táng húlu; lit. 'sugar calabash'), also called bingtang hulu (冰糖葫芦; 冰糖葫蘆; bīngtáng húlu; 'rock-sugar calabash'), is a traditional Chinese snack consisting of several rock sugar-coated fruits of Chinese hawthorn (Crataegus pinnatifida) on a bamboo skewer. It is named for its calabash-like shape. Tanghulu is called Tang dun er (simplified Chinese: 糖墩儿) in Tianjin, Tang qiu (simplified Chinese: 糖球) in Fengyang, Anhui, Tang zhan er (simplified Chinese: 糖蘸儿) in Shandong. Tanghulu is often mistaken for regular candied fruits; however, it is coated in a hardened sugar syrup. This sweet and sour treat has been made since the Song Dynasty and remains popular throughout northern China.[1]
Chinese hawthorn is the traditional fruit used for the skewering of fruit,[2] but in ancient times, vendors have also used various other fruits. For example, in records from the Qing Dynasty, grapes and walnuts were added.(《燕京岁时记》:冰糖葫芦,乃用竹签,贯以山里红、海棠果、葡萄、麻山药、核桃仁、豆沙等,蘸以冰糖,甜脆而凉。) In modern times, fruit choices have become more diverse, such as cherry tomatoes, mandarin oranges, strawberries, blueberries, pineapples, kiwifruit, or bananas. The pits and seeds of the hawthorn are emptied and are commonly filled with sweet red bean paste before being skewered and dipped.
