sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey provides natural sweetness, while brown sugar can be more affordable.

Wash and thoroughly dry the strawberries and grapes. Peel the tangerine. Insert the sticks and set aside.

Combine sugar and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-low heat.

Bring it to a boil and cook the mixture until a candy thermometer reaches 300ºF (the hard crack stage). If you don’t have a thermometer, wait until syrup starts to turn light amber in color. Do the water test (drop a small spoonful of syrup into the cold water. Syrup will form brittle threads and easily cracks and snaps).

Remove the candy mixture from the heat and dip the fruits into the mixture, swirling to coat them thoroughly.

Transfer the coated fruits to the cookie sheet and allow them to cool until the candy has fully hardened.
