"Gwapyeon" (literally "fruits cake") is a variety of "hangwa" or Korean traditional confectionery made by boiling fruits, starch, and sugar, until they reach a jellylike consistency. The fruits for the "hangwa" are Korean cherry, apricot, Chinese quince, and "omija" ("Schisandra chinensis") which have a soft texture, large amounts of natural pectin and a tart-sweet flavor. [ [http://www.foodinkorea.org/eng_food/korfood/korfood8_3.jsp Food in Korea : Korean Food Top10 ] ] Apples, Korean pears and peaches are not used because if they are heated, the colors are not suitable for making "gwapyeon". Starch, usually mung bean, functions as a gelling agent to solidify the mixed materials. [http://www.encyber.com/search_w/ctdetail.php?masterno=17534&contentno=17534 ¿£½ÎÀ̹ö ¹é°ú°Ë»ö - °úÆí ] ]

It was used for special occasions such as "janchi" (잔치; feast or banquet). [http://100.empas.com/dicsearch/pentry.html?i=114524&h=c&Ad= 엠파스 백과사전 ] ]
