Apple Bing Tang Hu Lu 冰糖葫芦
wood skewers
1/4 cup corn syrup
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup of water
2 apples cut into small pieces (about the size of half a slice)
Sesame seeds, to taste
Combine the corn syrup, sugar, and water in a medium sauce pan, stirring so that the sugar does not lump.
Over medium heat, allow the mixture to come to a boil without stirring. Keep the mixture boiling for about 18-20 minutes.
Prepare your wood skewers by sliding them through the apple pieces. Be sure not to break any of the pieces or apple or the weight of the candy will cause them to fall from the stick.
Once the candy mixture is ready, spoon it over each skewer individually, turning it as you do so to get an even layer covering every side of the fruit. Sprinkle with sesame seeds (optional). Allow skewers to cool on a piece of wax paper.
