Agave syrup is a natural sweetener with a similar texture.

Prepare skewers with grapes and apples, ensuring the fruit has a tough skin for better candy adherence.

In a deep pot, combine 2 cups of white sugar, 1/4 cup of water, and 1/3 cup of corn syrup.

Stir the mixture until combined, using a spoon.

Insert a candy thermometer into the mixture, ensuring it is submerged.

Turn the stove to medium-high heat and heat the mixture until it reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit (hard crack stage).

This process will take approximately 15 to 20 minutes.

Once the mixture reaches 300 degrees, turn off the stove and remove the candy thermometer.

Dip each piece of fruit into the hot candy mixture, swirling it around to coat, and let excess drip off before placing it on parchment paper.

Repeat the dipping process for all pieces of fruit, moving quickly to prevent the mixture from cooling too much.

If the mixture cools before all fruit is dipped, reheat it on the stove until it reaches 300 degrees again.

Allow the dipped fruit to sit for about 15 minutes to harden.
