Suksil-gwa (Korean: 숙실과; Hanja: 熟實果), literally "cooked fruit", is a category of hangwa (Korean confection) consisting of cooked fruit, roots, or seeds sweetened with honey.[1][2] Common ingredients include chestnut, jujube, and ginger.[3] Suksil-gwa is similar to—and sometimes classified as—jeonggwa, but has unique characteristics that differentiate it from the jeonggwa category.[2]
It has been mainly used for special occasions such as janchi (banquet), or jesa (ancestral rite).[3] 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.[4] Suksil-gwa is usually served with two or three kinds in one dish.[3][4]
