Tanghulu
Serves 1
Directions
- 1Dry the grapes, strawberries, and mandarin oranges thoroughly.
- 2In a large pan, combine one cup of sugar and a half cup of water. Swirl it around gently, but do not stir.
- 3Place the pan on the stove over medium-high heat and leave it alone until it boils.
- 4While the sugar mixture is cooking, fill a big vessel with very cold water and set it aside. This will be used to dip the completed Tanghulu.
- 5Skewer the fruit, trying not to move them back and forth too much to prevent them from sliding.
- 6Once the sugar is boiling, it should reach 300 degrees Fahrenheit. If you have a candy thermometer, use it (insert before heating).
- 7To test if the sugar is ready without a thermometer, dip a skewer into the sugar, swirl it, and then dip it into the ice water. If it is still gummy, it's not ready.
- 8Carefully dip and twirl the skewered fruit in the hot sugar.
- 9Immediately after dipping, place the sugar-coated fruit into the ice water for a couple of seconds.
- 10Enjoy your homemade Tanghulu.
