Iris, Unfortunately I’ve not seen haw fruits for sale here in the U.S. You can, however, buy dried sliced haw fruits in Chinatown. They look like little disc of dried crabapples.

Thanks for inspiring us to make good use of some ingredients that we forget how versatile they can be. Haw is obviously one ingredient that has a lot of good health-giving properties.Thanks for sharing!

That soup looks delicious! Must be really sweet with all those fruits in it.

Any fresh fruit will have certain health benefits but the question is how healthy is it after processing into candy form.
