Suksil-gwa

Suksil-gwa (), literally "cooked fruit", is a category of "hangwa" (Korean confection) consisting of cooked fruit, roots, or seeds sweetened with honey. Common ingredients include chestnut, jujube, and ginger. "Suksil-gwa" is similar to—and sometimes classified as—"jeonggwa", but has unique characteristics that differentiate it from the "jeonggwa" category.
It has been mainly used for special occasions such as "janchi" (banquet), or "jesa" (ancestral rite). During the Joseon era (1392–1897), it was consumed by "yangban" (scholar-officials) and in royal court cuisine, due to the requirement for good quality fruit and an elaborate cooking process. "Suksil-gwa" is usually served with two or three kinds in one dish.
Varieties.
"Suksil-gwa" can be divided into "ran"-type and "cho"-type by the cooking method. Each of the terms is affixed to the main ingredient. The "ran"-type involves meshing of the cooked ingredient, mixing them with honey, and shaping the mixture into the shape of the fruit. The "cho"-type are made without the meshing process.
