Description
Create a delightful candy-coated dessert with fresh fruits, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb strawberries, grapes, or other fruit of choice (~30 pieces)
- 2 cups white sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Wash the fruit thoroughly and pat it dry with a clean towel.
- Remove leaves, stems, or inedible parts from the fruit and skewer it onto wooden skewers.
- In a small pot, combine the white sugar and water over low to medium heat without stirring.
- Allow the mixture to come to a gentle boil, simmering for 10 to 20 minutes until it thickens to a syrup consistency.
- Check readiness by drizzling the syrup into an ice water bath; it should harden quickly.
- Working quickly, dip each fruit skewer into the syrup, swirl to coat, then dip into the ice water bath to cool.
- Arrange the finished skewers on a plate and serve.
Notes
Choose ripe but firm fruit for the best results. Work quickly with the syrup to ensure the coating adheres properly.
