Trend 3: Tanghulu
This Chinese candied fruit treat is perfect for any fruit lover, and it’s as fun to make as it is to eat. Although you can use any fruit you’d like, the most popular trending choices include strawberries, grapes, and mango. We will be following Kearah’s steps.

What you’ll need

• Your fruit of choice (Strawberries, Grapes, Mango), Granulated Sugar, Water, Skewers, Pot/Pan

How To: 

• After washing and drying your fruit, Put your fruit on a skewer
• Add 1 cup of sugar into a pan and layer ½ cup of water on top (Don’t mix!)
• Prepare an ice bath, get a bowl and fill it with ice and water
• Put the pan to high heat, once it begins to bubble, turn it down to about medium heat

Tip: To check if sugar is hot enough, dip the edge of a skewer into the pan and then the ice bath. If it hardens, it’s ready for your skewered fruit!

• Once your sugar is ready, gently dip your skewered fruit into the sugar making sure it’s completely coated
• Then immediately dip it into the ice bath
• Congratulations, you just made Tanghulu
