Notes
**If you want to make tanghulu, follow the instructions for skewering the fruit. Instead of drizzling with honey, bring a small bot to a boil with 1 cup water and 2 cups sugar until a thick syrup has formed (about 20 minutes).
Dip the fruit skewers into the syrup and coat. Dip the skewers in an ice bath immediately to harden the sugar and there you have tanghulu!
