Tips and notes
Confit the fruit is very simple; the important thing is to use intact and firm fruit. If you want to prepare grapes in syrup without alcohol, consider that to make the syrup, the sugar should be half the weight of the water (2:1 ratio), adding untreated lemon peel and a little juice if desired.
