In this type of preparation, fruit and sugar form a delicious combination.
You only need three ingredients and the dream of all those with a sweet tooth is ready.
One of the latest food trends on TikTok * is actually not that new, but at least young users in the US and Europe heard about it for the first time through the platform.
The trend in question can be found on the video sharing platform by
searching
for
the hashtag
#candiedfruit
.
The hashtag has already generated 11.4 million views so far.
However, this is something different from the typical candied fruits that we know in Germany.
Fruits are preserved by removing water from them and increasing the sugar content.
This type of preparation takes several days.
Not our variant!
One could translate “candied fruit” rather with “
glazed fruit
” because they are coated with a layer of sugar.
This makes them wonderfully shiny and crispy.
The #candiedfruit trend is one of the easier cooking trends you can find on the internet because you
only
need
three ingredients
: sugar, water, and your favorite fruit.
Various TikTok accounts show in short videos how easy it is to make glazed fruits yourself.
You can find the simple guide here.

Prepare the fruit of your choice (for example strawberries, raspberries, grapes, pineapples or oranges), ie wash, peel if necessary, remove the stem and cut into bite-sized pieces depending on the size.
Mix one part water and two parts sugar in a saucepan.
Bring the mixture to a boil, swirling the pan if necessary so that nothing burns.
Don't stir!
Skewer some fruit on kebab skewers or straws.
Prepare a vessel with ice water (e.g. a glass of water with ice cubes).
When the sugar syrup has turned a golden brown color (you can also check the temperature with a kitchen thermometer, it should be 150 ° C), first dip the fruit in the hot syrup and then in the ice water so that the syrup hardens to a crispy glaze .
One of the most successful TikTok users on this trend is Haley Turner (@ h.nicole22), whose video on the preparation of
candied strawberries has
already received over 1 million views (as of February 18).

The candied fruit trend started in China, not on TikTok
However, of course, neither they nor other TikTok users invented the trend of making candied fruit themselves.
In fact, the
recipe comes from China
, where it is known as
Tanghulu
.
This traditional sweet is very popular in northern China's regions and major cities like Beijing or Shanghai.
There the Chinese hawthorn is traditionally used as a fruit, but nowadays you can also find other varieties with strawberries, apples, grapes and Co.
