Strawberry Tanghulu
If you've never heard of Tanghulu before, you're in for a treat. Originating in China, this delicious snack is made of candied fruit. In this case, we're making Strawberry Tanghulu. It's such a quick and easy recipe.
Essentially, you're making a simple syrup and then dipping the fruit into it. It goes from the hot syrup right into ice and this makes the sugar mixture harden. Crunchy on the outside with delectable fruit on the inside, this is a great treat for special occasions like Valentine's Day or as a yummy snack on a summer day.
