1

Make the sugar glass by combining 2 cups of sugar with 1 cup of water in a pot.

2

Stir the mixture and turn the heat to low to dissolve the sugar.

3

Once dissolved, increase the heat to high and let it boil for 8 to 10 minutes until it turns light brown and bubbly.

4

Prepare the fruits by skewering them with thick or thin bamboo skewers for stability.

5

Use green grapes and strawberries for their vibrant colors, but any fruit can work.

6

Check the sugar glass by dipping a bamboo skewer into it and then into ice water; if it hardens, it's ready.

7

Reduce the heat to low and tilt the pan to dip the fruits into the sugar glass, letting the excess drip off.

8

Place the coated fruits on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

9

If rolling the fruits is difficult, use a spoon to help coat them with the sugar glass.

10

Let the coated fruits cool in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before tasting.
