Description
Delightful skewers of fresh fruit coated with a crunchy candy shell, perfect for snacks or parties.
Ingredients
Scale
- Fruits (such as strawberries, grapes, or hawthorn berries)
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup water
- Skewers
Instructions
- Begin by preparing the fruit. Wash them thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or impurities, then dry them with a clean kitchen towel.
- Take skewers and carefully thread your selected fruits onto them, aiming for about three to four pieces of fruit per skewer.
- In a medium-sized saucepan, combine equal parts sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium flame, stirring until the sugar fully dissolves.
- Once the syrup starts to bubble, continue boiling until it reaches a hard crack stage, approximately 300°F (150°C).
- Remove the syrup from the heat and quickly dip each skewer of fruit into the hot syrup, ensuring an even coating.
- Place the coated skewers on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and let them cool completely until the candy shell hardens, about 10 minutes.
- Once cooled, your Tanghulu Candied Fruit Skewers are ready to serve!
Notes
Enjoy the skewers on the same day they are made. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two days.
