Wonderfully festive and fun, these candied star-shaped chips — a favorite among children — have a slight tropical flavor that makes them a sunny treat with or without the strudel.
Ingredients
Makes about 32 chips
Special Equipment
Make chips:
Step 1
Slice star fruit crosswise with slicer into 1/16-inch-thick slices.
Step 2
Bring sugar and water to a boil in a 2-quart heavy saucepan, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Add star fruit, then remove from heat and let stand, uncovered, 15 minutes. Pour star fruit into a sieve set over a bowl and drain 15 minutes. Reserve syrup forquince apple strudels.
Step 3
Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 200°F. Put liner on a large (17- by 11-inch) baking sheet, then arrange star-fruit slices in 1 layer on liner (discard extra along with any broken slices). Bake until dry, 1 to 1 1/4 hours. Immediately transfer chips to a rack to cool.
Chips can be made 1 week ahead and cooled completely, uncovered, then kept, layered between sheets of wax paper, in an airtight container at room temperature. Chill star-fruit syrup, covered.

Back to TopSo beautiful and crispy. I had to cook it about twice as long to get it good and crisp (but it is a humid day in Hawaii today). Great way to preserve such a fragile fruit.
