Serves/Makes: 6 | Ready In: > 5 hrs
Ingredients:
1 cup fruit (see directions)
2 cups granulated sugar, plus more for coating the candied fruit
1 cup water
Directions:
You can use canned or fresh (cooked) fruit such as peaches, apples, prunes, figs, plums, cherries, or apricots. You can also use dried fruit that has been soaked in hot water to rehydrate.
Drain the fruit very well and pat dry with paper toweling as much as possible. Set aside.
Combine the sugar and water in a heavy saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring the mixture to a boil and cook until it reaches 234-238 degrees F (soft ball stage).
Add the fruit, mix gently, then simmer until the sugar mixture is clear. Remove the pan from the heat and let the fruit sit in the syrup overnight (or for 8 hours).
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Drain the sugar syrup from the fruit. Roll the fruit in granulated sugar and place on a mesh screen or wire rack. Place the screen on a baking sheet and place in the oven. Let the fruit bake at 250 degrees F until it is dry to the touch.
Remove the candied fruit from the oven and let cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
