Hot Candied Fruit, or Basi in Chinese, is a well-known Chinese sweet dish, and it can be made with apple, pear, banana or yam.
The most important part in preparing this dish is the boiling of the sugar. Sugar is put into a round-bottomed frying pan containing hot water or oil, boiled on a moderate fire and stirred gently with a slice until the sugar melts. When the syrup is heated to melt, the fruit, peeled and cut into pieces, is to be put into the pan, mixed with the syrup by stirring so that each piece is coated.
It is served hot and each piece should be dipped into one’s mouth so that the surface is cooled and hardened while the inside remains warm and tasty. The serving dish containing the candied fruit must be smeared in advance with a little edible oil to prevent the fruit form sticking onto it.
