Candied Pineapples Without Corn Syrup Tutorial *Great Tips* (Very Thorough)

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey adds natural sweetness while brown sugar provides a similar flavor profile.

Pour the juice from the canned pineapples into a cup.

Place the pineapple chunks on napkins or paper towels and pat them dry as much as possible.

Use skewers to hold the pineapples for dipping.

Dry the pineapples again after using the skewer to ensure they are as dry as possible.

Freeze the pineapples for a minimum of 6 to 8 hours (creator mentions freezing for 2 days).

In a pot, combine 2 cups of granulated white sugar, 1/2 cup of water, and 2 tablespoons of distilled white vinegar.

Add red food coloring to the mixture before placing it on the stove.

Attach a candy thermometer to the side of the pot (not touching the bottom).

Heat the mixture until it reaches 250°F before adding any flavoring.

Prepare toppings (like Jolly Ranchers) by separating them by color on a platter.
