I hate it in dessert but apparently when you go to Italy the candied fruit is actually quite delicious as it is real fruit -so what is the one that we eat made of? BP told me that you love things with candied fruit there as it tastes amazing. Anyone going to Italy soon, let me know or buy a bag for taste testing.
How to make candied fruit:
STEP 1: Prepare fruit by cutting into small pieces; chop cherries in half; remove white pith from lemon, orange or grapefruit peel and cut into strips or small pieces.
STEP 2: Combine 1 cup sugar, 1 cup honey and 1-1/2 cups water in heavy saucepan.
STEP 3: Boil over medium heat and cook, stirring constantly, until mixture reaches 235 degrees F on candy thermometer.
STEP 4: Drop small amount of fruit into liquid.
STEP 5: Cook on low heat 20-30 minutes until the fruit or rind is transparent.
STEP 6: Drain and repeat with rest of fruit.
STEP 7: Cool fruit and store in airtight container
Voila, ready to use it in the middle of your cakes or tartufo. Now you have to find a candy thermometer.
