Hwachae is a Korean dessert made by combining chopped seasonal fruit with a sweet, slightly tart syrup and chilling it with ice. Since it can be prepared in a lidded jar and carried cold, it makes an easy snack to eat with a spoon at school or work. The refreshing syrup balances the natural sweetness of the fruit for a snack that is both satisfying and light.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the syrup

8 min

Bring the water and granulated sugar to a boil in a pot, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat, add the lemon juice, and chill thoroughly in the refrigerator.

2

Cut the fruit

10 min

Dice the pear and apple. Pit the cherries and place all the fruit in a lidded jar.

3

Combine

5 min

Pour the chilled syrup over the fruit, add the ice cubes, and close the jar.

4

Serve

2 min

Serve from the jar with a spoon, or pack it in a lunchbox with an ice pack to keep it cold.

Reminder

Add the fruit to the syrup just before serving; if it sits too long, the fruit will release juice and dilute the syrup.

Şerbeti 8 dakika yerine 12 dakika kaynattım çünkü daha koyu bir tat istedim, soğuyunca kıvamı da biraz daha yoğunlaştı ve meyvelerle harika uyum sağladı, bir dahaki sefere aynı süreyi kullanacağım.
