Hwachae is a Korean dessert made by combining chopped seasonal fruit with a sweet, lightly tart syrup and chilling it with ice. Since it can be prepared in a lidded jar and kept cold, it travels well in a lunchbox to be eaten with a spoon at school or work. The refreshing syrup balanced against the fruit's own sweetness makes it a satisfying yet light treat.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make the syrup

8 min

Bring the water to the boil with the caster sugar in a pan, stirring until the sugar dissolves, remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice, then chill thoroughly in the fridge.

2

Chop the fruit

10 min

Cut the pear and apple into cubes and pit the cherries, then place all the fruit into a lidded jar.

3

Combine

5 min

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

4

Serve

2 min

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

Reminder

Add the fruit to the syrup just before serving; left too long, it releases its juices and waters the syrup down.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

Adding a few cucumber slices to the syrup makes the dessert taste fresher and less sweet; cut the cucumber into thin half-moons before adding.

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.
