Gwapyeon (Korean: 과편; Hanja: 果片) is a jelly-like hangwa (traditional Korean confection) made with fruits.[1] The colorful fruit jelly is commonly served at banquets.[2] This classic dessert was served in the royal court during the Joseon dynasty.[3]
Preparation
[edit]Fruits with a sweet-tart flavor and higher pectin content, such as Korean cherry, Chinese quince, apricot, mountain hawthorn, bokbunja, Oriental cherry, bog blueberry and magnolia berry are preferred for making gwapyeon.[3] The jelly can be made by boiling any of the above fruits in water, sieving it, then adding honey and simmering it for a long time on low heat.[2] Starch, agar, or other gelling agents can be used as a time-saver. Boiled fruit juice is then cooled in a mold until it solidifies. It is sliced into bite-size pieces.[2]
