To Candy Fruit

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine sugar and water in a pot over medium heat.

  2. Skim off any scum that rises to the surface.

  3. Boil until the mixture looks clear.

  4. Remove a small amount and let it cool; it should draw a thread from the spoon.

  5. Continue boiling the syrup until it begins to candy around the edges of the pan.
