step by step
Method
- Step 1
Prepare and freeze the pineapple
- Drain the pineapple slices and dry them off very well.
- Insert a skewer or toothpick into each slice and lay them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Freeze until fully frozen, ideally overnight.
- Step 2
Make the candy syrup
- Combine the sugar, corn syrup and water in a saucepan without stirring.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Insert a candy thermometer and cook until the candy reaches 300 °F.
- Step 3
Color and flavor the candy
- Turn off the heat and remove the pan from the burner.
- Stir in the white food coloring and the coloring of choice.
- Just before fully mixed, stir in the raspberry flavoring.
- Step 4
Dip the pineapple halves
- Dip half of a frozen pineapple slice into the candy, let it drip, then place it on a parchment-lined pan.
- Repeat quickly with the remaining slices.
- Once the first halves have hardened, dip the other half of each slice, drip and return to the pan.
- Step 5
Finish and store
- Sprinkle crushed hard candy over the dipped slices if using.
- Let them dry for a few minutes on the parchment paper.
- Store in an airtight container in the freezer and enjoy the same day.
