Wash the chosen fruits thoroughly under cold water and pat them dry with a clean towel. Skewer the pieces onto wooden sticks.

In a medium-sized saucepan, combine 2 cups of granulated sugar with 1 cup of water and place over medium-high heat, allowing it to boil without stirring.

To check syrup readiness, dip a skewer into the mixture and then into a cup of cold water. If it hardens quickly, it's ready.

Carefully tilt the saucepan and dip the fruit skewers into the hot syrup, ensuring even coverage.

Dip each coated skewer briefly into an ice bath to help the candy coating set quickly.

Allow the skewers to cool completely at room temperature before serving.
