Tanghulu Recipe | Chinese Candied Fruit

Step 1

Create the tanghulu sugar coating by boiling sugar, water and corn syrup together until it reaches a golden-brown colour.

Step 2

Wash strawberries and then dry them thoroughly so that the sugar coating can adhere to the fruit. After which, skewer the fruits on bamboo or lollipop sticks.

Step 3

Dip and rotate a strawberry into the mixture pot. Coat the strawberry, then allow excess syrup to drip off before placing the fruit on a tray lined with a baking sheet. Repeat until all the strawberries are sugared.

Step 4

After the sugar coating has hardened, drip the teaspoons of honey over the skewered fruits for more flavour. It should take about ten minutes for the coating to fully harden. Serve your strawberry tanghulu immediately.
