Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Tanghulu
- Wash chosen fruits thoroughly under cool running water and pat dry with a clean kitchen towel.
- Pierce fruits onto bamboo skewers, leaving space at the bottom for easy handling. Aim for 3-4 pieces per skewer.
- Combine granulated sugar and water in a small saucepan. Heat over medium-high heat without stirring until sugar dissolves.
- Create an ice bath by filling a large bowl with cold water and ice cubes.
- When syrup reaches 300ºF, dip each fruit skewer into the syrup and swirl gently for an even coat.
- Allow excess syrup to drip off, then immerse in the ice bath to harden the coating.
- Once hardened, place skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and let cool completely before serving.

Notes
Serve tanghulu fresh for the best experience; the candy coating can soften in warm environments.
