8 small red apples
 8 wooden skewers
 3 dl granulated sugar
 1 1/4 dl water
 1/2 tablespoon glucose
 red food colouring
 Remove stems and pedicels from the apples. Wash and dry them
 carefully.  Put a skewer into each apple.
 The sugar coating: Stir together sugar, water and glucose in a
 small pan.  Bring the pan slowly to a boil and cook on slow until
 the sugar melts.  Increase heat and boil until it thickens (stir).
 You can tell when the liquid is ready by first dipping a cocktail/tooth
 pick intothe mixture and then into cold water. If the liquid
 solidifies, it's done. (Add a few drops of red food coluring to
 the liquid.)
 Dip the apples into the hot liquid, turning them around in it to
 spread the coating evenly. Put the apples on a baking sheet or a
 greased plate and let them cool. It'll take about 30 minutes for
 the coating to solidify.
