Bing tang hu lu (冰糖葫芦)

Bing tang hu lu, or sugar-coated haws on a stick, is a sweet and sour flavored snack almost indispensable in every Beijinger's childhood.

It was originally made mainly of Chinese hawthorn, but these days you can find many different types including yam, orange, chufa, banana, Chinese gooseberry and so on.
