Sugared Fruit
Sugared fruit can turn a plain dessert into a shimmering feast for the eyes. Like little icy balls of colored diamonds, they add sparkle and shine to any dessert.
Making sugared fruit is as easy as whisking egg whites and a bit of water together, then rolling the fruit in a bowl full of sugar. Use a fork or slotted spoon for larger fruit, to transfer from the sugar to the baking sheet. Be very gently, since the sugar will rub off while it’s still wet. Once it has hardened completely, you can easily handle it with your fingers.
