Tanghulu, a delightful Chinese street snack, is made by skewering fresh fruits and coating them in a glossy sugar syrup. To create this treat, first wash and dry your chosen fruits, like strawberries or hawthorn berries, and thread them onto bamboo skewers. In a saucepan, combine sugar and water, heating the mixture until it reaches the hard crack stage (about 300°F or 150°C). Quickly dip the skewered fruit into the syrup, ensuring an even coat, and then place them on parchment paper to cool. The result is a sweet, crunchy exterior that contrasts beautifully with the juicy fruit inside, making tanghulu a perfect festive snack! For more detailed steps, check out
