Ingredients

Units Scale

1 egg white
1/2 cup instant dissolving sugar (fruit sugar, castor sugar, superfine sugar)
fresh berries

Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

In a small bowl lightly beat egg white.
Then lightly and gently brush the fruit with egg white. Be careful not to oversaturate the fruit.
Gently drop the fruit in a shallow bowl of instant dissolving sugar, coating the fruit entirely.
Spoon fruit onto a drying rack and let dry until firm, approx. 2 hours. Re-coat if necessary.

Notes

Store sugared fruit at room temperature in a non-humid environment. If the fruit is stored with moisture the sugar will dissolve into a syrup like consistency. Spread fruit out in a single layer in a container with the lid ajar.

It’s best to use fruit that isn’t too ripe, as it will be difficult to coat the berries and the shelf life is much shorter.
