Beijing snack - frozen crabapple

The crabapples just picked from the tree are hard and astringent when eaten, and sometimes they can even choke you. Therefore, in the winter of old Beijing, vendors specializing in frozen crabapples came into being. Most vendors selling frozen crabapples push a wheelbarrow (some carry a load on their shoulders), with a blue cloth sheet on the cart, piled with frozen crabapples. Those crabapples are frozen into ice lumps, as hard as glass balls. People can buy a paper bag (more than a pound) of frozen crabapples for only 87 cents. After buying them home, they are usually placed on the windowsill to freeze. When eating, put them in clean water to " pull " the ice out of the crabapples (actually thaw them with water, not really " pull " ) before eating. The crabapples that have been " pulled " out of the ice by water will become soft, and not only will they no longer be bitter in the mouth, but they will be cool, sweet, and sour and very palatable. It is said that frozen crabapples can sober you up, and some people always buy some frozen crabapples to eat after getting drunk.
