Jeonggwa (정과; 正果) is a crispy, chewy hangwa (traditional Korean confection) with vivid colors and a translucent look.^[1]^[2] It can be made by boiling sliced fruits, roots, or seeds in honey, mullyeot (rice syrup), or sugar water, then drying the slices, and optionally shaping them into flowers or other decorative forms.^[3]^[4]^[5] The candied fruits, roots, or seeds may have the similar texture to jam, marmalade, or jelly.

Types

Common ingredients include yuja, quinces, apricots, lotus roots, radishes, carrots, ginseng, balloon flower roots, gingers, burdock roots, bamboo shoots, and winter melons.^[2]^[4]^[6] If water is boiled first with honey (and often with spices such as cinnamon and ginger) and dried fruit is added later, it is called sujeonggwa (수정과; 水正果; "water jeonggwa") and served cold as a beverage.
