Watermelon Tanghulu

@alexawhatsfordinner was very excited about these watermelons (especially the yellow one💛), so she decided to tanghulu them! 😜 Tanghulu is a candied fruit snack originating from China and it’s delightful.

Instructions

1. 1

   Use small cookie cutters to punch out shapes from the watermelon flesh, or use a knife to cut into small squares or your desired shapes.

2. 2

   Prepare an ice bath in a medium bowl.

3. 3

   In a medium nonstick pan, combine the sugar and water. Melt together over medium heat and continue cooking until the temperature reaches 300°F (150°C).

4. 4

   Secure a watermelon shape onto a heat-safe skewer. Dip the skewer into the hot sugar mixture to coat the watermelon evenly, then immediately dunk in the ice bath; the sugar should harden and turn glossy on the outside of the fruit. Repeat with the remaining watermelon.

5. 5

   Serve immediately.

6. 6

   Enjoy!
