Here in China there are a plethora of street food vendors. During the winter season we often get the option to buy candied fruit. The fruit above is mostly hawthorn (the red ones), which is really popular and quite tasty. The fruit has been dipped in hot sugar syrup. When it cools it hardens to make a sweet shell for the fruit. One stick of hawthorn costs only 2 yuan, about 30 cents in USD. What a delicious bargain!
