Hi Im new to this site and wondering if anyone knows how long eggwhite and sugar dipped fruit lasts before the sugar 'melts' for lack of a better word. Thinking of using either blueberries, blackberries or concord grapes....Thanks,
Kelly

The crust created by the eggwhite and sugar will be fairly stable for several hours. As the fruit sits, it will slowly begin to break down and melt the sugar. If the room is cool and fruit is fresh it should not be a problem.

I wonder also. How thin do you put the egg white on? Very very thin? or do you dip it and then roll in sugar? Does it harden in room temperature?

Dip the fruit, such as a grape, into eggwhite beaten with a little water. then sprinkle superfine sugar over the wet fruit. You can put your granulated sugar into a foodprocessor for a few minutes to get superfine sugar. Set the sugar fruit aside to dry at room temp. It doesn't take too long. If you get clumps in your sugar, just sift the clumps out. if you have sugar left over, discard it.
