Sugar glazed fruit

Have you ever admired the super-shiny fruit tarts you see at the supermarket bake shop? Nestled like colorful jewels in the bakery case among the plainer sugar cookies and lemon squares, they stand out like royalty at a peasants' ball. How do they make those strawberries and blackberries and raspberries SO shiny? Well, supermarket bakeries often use a clear, gel-based spray or liquid coating to glaze berries. Easily applied, it sets up quickly and holds well, often for days.

This fruit tart glaze is so easy to make and is the best way to get your fruit tart or other tasty dessert to shine!

I knew this recipe wouldn't be here at Zaar because it's very very old. It came from my ex-boyfriend's Aunt Suzie. She was different from the rest of the family (she a Baptist, they were Catholic) which made her the black sheep. She and I got along like peas and carrots. I commented that I loved to cook and she gave me this recipe. It was her husband's grandmother's recipe. She said it was his favorite.

Tanghulu, sometimes called “bing tanghulu,” is a candied fruit snack originally made by skewering red hawthorn berries, dipping in sugar syrup, and letting the shell harden. Tanghulu is now made with all kinds of fruits like strawberries, mandarin oranges, grapes, and even cherry tomatoes. Though it’s having a moment around the world right now, tanghulu goes back hundreds of years to northern China.
