Classic Tanghulu

Tanghulu is a traditional Chinese snack that has captured the hearts of many with its simple yet delightful combination of fruits and a hard candy coating. Known for its stunning, glossy appearance and satisfying crunch, Tanghulu is a street food favourite in China, often made with hawthorn berries. This version uses strawberries, a widely available alternative that perfectly balances the sweet and sour flavours. Making Tanghulu at home is a fun and rewarding activity, especially for those who love experimenting with traditional recipes. The process involves skewering fruit and dipping it into a hot sugar syrup, which hardens to form a transparent, candy-like shell. It's a treat that's as pleasing to the eye as it is to the taste buds.
