Ingredients

  • 3 cups raspberries, blackberries or other fruit
  • 1/2 cup (120 ml) water

  • After one hour has passed, pour the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar into a bowl. Take the fruit and roll one piece at a time in the sugar.

  • As each piece is rolled, place it back on the rack until the process is complete. Allow the fruit to sit for 1 additional hour undisturbed.

Notes

  • Prep time is approximate. 
  • It's best to use fruit that isn't too ripe, as it will be difficult to glaze the berries.
  • Store sugared fruit at room temperature in a non-humid environment for up to 24 hours.
  • If the fruit is stored with moisture, the sugar will dissolve into a syrup-like consistency.
