Ingredients
  

For the Fruit Base
  • 4 cups Fresh Fruit (berries, oranges, grapes, kiwi) Ensure fruit is thoroughly dried
For the Candy Coating
  • 2 cups Granulated Sugar Essential for crispy texture
  • 1 cup Water Necessary for syrup

Equipment

  • medium-sized pot
  • Candy thermometer
  • Wooden Skewers
  • baking sheet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Wash your chosen fresh fruit and pat dry thoroughly. Thread the fruit onto wooden skewers, filling each skewer with 3 to 5 pieces.
  2. Create an ice bath with a rimmed baking sheet filled with cold water and ice. This helps the sugar coating harden quickly.
  3. In a medium pot, combine granulated sugar with water. Pour the water over the sugar without stirring.
  4. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, monitoring temperature with a candy thermometer to reach 250°F.
  5. Once it reaches 250°F, dip a skewer into the syrup and immerse it in the ice bath to test readiness.
  6. Dip each fruit skewer into the hot sugar syrup, allowing excess syrup to drip off before placing on parchment paper.
  7. Serve immediately after preparation for the best tangy crunch and fresh taste.
