Crystallized Fruit......make some for the holidays?...
Photo: Xose Castro
Make a syrup of 1 pound sugar (!) and 1/2 cup of water. Boil without stirring until a drop put into iced water becomes immediately brittle. Remove from the fire and set it into an outer pan of boiling water. Add to the syrup the juice of 1/4 lemon. Run the prongs of a sharp pickle fork through each piece of fruit to be candied, dip it into the hot syrup and lay on buttered paper to dry.
