Tanghulu Recipe
Fresh fruit coated in a thin and crunchy layer of sugar, a refreshing, sweet treat, inspired by the classic Chinese treat tanghulu
Ingredients
Scale
- 400g White sugar (2 cups)
- 60ml Water (1/4 cup)
- 85g Corn syrup (1/4 cup)
- 12 strawberries, or your fruits of choice
Instructions
- Trim your strawberries, or your choice of fruit, and skewer them onto a bamboo or wooden skewer
- Combine the sugar, water and corn syrup together in a deep heavy-bottomed saucepan
- Heat over medium heat, swirling the pan occasionally until the sugar has dissolved
- Once dissolved stop swirling and heat the sugar mixture until it reaches 150C/300F - 160C/320F
- If you don't have a candy thermometer dip a spoon in the sugar mixture, then directly into a glass of ice water, if the sugar firms up immediately, it's ready
