- Choose firm fruit. Fruit that is too ripe will fall apart during the candying process.
- Cut the fruit into small pieces. This will help the fruit to candy evenly.
- Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan. This will help to prevent the sugar syrup from burning.
- Bring the sugar syrup to a boil over medium heat. Do not stir the syrup while it is boiling.
- Reduce the heat to low and add the fruit. Simmer the fruit in the syrup for 30 minutes, or until the fruit is translucent.
- Remove the fruit from the syrup and let it cool on a wire rack.
- Roll the fruit in sugar. This will help to prevent the fruit from sticking together.
- Store the candied fruit in an airtight container at room temperature.
