Bing Tanghulu is a traditional Chinese snack that features skewered fruits coated in a crispy sugar glaze, offering a delightful contrast of textures and flavors. This Halal version uses fresh fruits and a simple syrup to create a sweet treat that's perfect for sharing.

Ingredients

• Strawberries - 200 grams
• Grapes - 200 grams
• Wooden skewers - 4 pieces
• Granulated sugar - 150 grams
• Water - 50 ml

Steps

1. Wash and dry the strawberries and grapes thoroughly.
2. Skewer 5-6 strawberries and 5-6 grapes onto each wooden skewer, alternating between the two fruits.
3. In a saucepan, combine granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice over medium heat.
4. Stir the mixture until the sugar completely dissolves, then allow it to boil without stirring until it reaches a golden caramel color, about 8-10 minutes.
5. Remove the saucepan from heat and let it cool slightly for a minute.
6. Quickly dip each skewer into the caramel, ensuring the fruits are thoroughly coated, and then place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet to cool and harden.
