Instructions
Wash fruit and pat dry.
Arrange fruit on a bamboo skewer. Only add as many pieces as you can dip into the pot.
Bring water and sugar mixture to a boil.
Add the sugar and water to your pot. Heat over medium-high heat until an instant read thermometer reads 300 degrees. This will take about 10-15 minutes. Do not stir the mixture. If you don’t have a thermometer, you can check if it's ready by sticking a wooden skewer in it and then immediately dipping it in cold water. If it becomes hard immediately, the sugar is ready
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Prepare an ice bath with ice cubes and cold water in a large bowl.
When the sugar water mixture has reached the desired temperature, tilt the saucepan and dip the skewered fruit in the syrup, rotating to cover it entirely. Allow the excess syrup to drip off and then place it in the ice bath, spinning to cool. Place the skewers on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining skewers.
