Ingredients
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup water
½ lbs fruits of choice Strawberries, pineapple, kiwis, oranges
Ice water
Instructions
1. Wash and dry your fruit fully before starting.
2. Add the fruits to a wooden skewer, I go for 1-3 fruits per skewer to make sure that I can dip them in the sugar mixture.
3. In a medium pot add the sugar and water and heat up over medium heat until the mixture is boiling and reaches 275-329F. If you don't have a thermometer you can check if it is ready by dipping a spoon or wooden skewer and immediately dipping it in ice water. If it hardens it is ready.
4. When the sugar syrup is ready, turn the temperature down all the way then work quickly and carefully dipping the fruits in the sugar syrup, and rotate the skewer around to coat.
5. Allow the sugar to drip off the fruit before dipping in the ice water for 2-4 seconds to allow the sugar mixture to harden. Serve immediately.
