　　  Tianjin Preserved Fruit Yuanxiao

　　　　    Preserved fruits and candied snacks are common in Beijing and Tianjin, and the yuanxiao (glutinous rice balls) derived from them are quite unique. As the name suggests, preserved fruit yuanxiao are those filled with candied fillings, such as honey mixed with white raisins, or hawthorn and red date flavors, mostly sweet and tangy in taste. In fact, yuanxiao made with preserved fruits as ingredients, featuring a variety of flavors, have been increasingly available on the market, with pumpkin, banana, and sweet orange fillings constantly emerging.
