Description
A sweet snack of candied hawthorn berries with a crunchy shell and tangy flavor, perfect for cold afternoons.
Ingredients
For the candied berries
- 2 cups Fresh fruits (hawthorn berries, strawberries, grapes, or others) (Ensure fruits are thoroughly washed and dried.)
- 1 cup Sugar (Plain granulated sugar provides the best texture.)
- 1/2 cup Water (Used to create the syrup.)
Instructions
Preparation
- Prepare the fruits by washing and drying them thoroughly.
- In a saucepan, combine sugar and water in a ratio of about 2:1 and heat over medium until the sugar dissolves and creates a syrup.
Cooking
- Bring the mixture to a boil until it reaches the hard crack stage (300°F or 150°C).
- Dip the fruits into the syrup, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the coated fruits on a parchment-lined tray to cool and harden.
Serving
- Serve them at room temperature for the best texture and flavor.
Notes
Store in a single layer if possible. Use parchment or wax paper for storage in a cool, dry spot. Don’t refrigerate to prevent the sugar from getting sticky.
