  • skewers
• Step 3
  Fill a large container with ice water and set aside. We will use it later to dip the fruits into.
  • water, iced (1000 g)
• Step 4
  In a pan over medium heat add sugar and water (some recipes suggest a 1:1 sugar to water ratio while others suggest 2:1 ratio or even more sugar). There's no need to stir the mixture. Let it boil until the color starts to turn amber (around 300 degrees). You can check that the sugar is ready by testing it with the tip of a skewer and making sure the result is hard and not sticky.
  • 2 cup sugar (400 g)
  • 1 cup water (240 g)
• Step 5
  Keep the fire low enough to maintain the temperature. Dip the fruit into the heated sugar and then submerge in the ice water immediately for a few seconds.
