Step 2
Separate the grapes from the stems, wash and dry them. Peel the banana and cut it into large slices. Wash and dry the strawberries. You can remove the stems, or leave them as is. I've tried both ways.

Step 3
Pierce the fruits onto skewers. They should fit snugly and not slide. It's more convenient to use flat rectangular sticks rather than round ones. You can skewer one large slice or several small fruits onto a single skewer.

Step 4
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine sugar with water and lemon juice. Bring to a boil over medium heat.

Step 5
After the mixture comes to a boil and the sugar dissolves completely, cook the caramel for about 10–15 minutes until it reaches a light caramel color. To test for doneness, drop a bit of caramel into ice water—it should harden into a firm ball.

Step 6
Dip fruit on skewers into hot caramel. Slightly rotate the skewer to let excess caramel drip off.

Step 7
Then dip the skewer into a bowl of very cold water prepared in advance. I add a few ice cubes to the bowl. Hold the skewer in the water for about 15–20 seconds, then remove and shake off the water.

Step 8
Insert the fruit skewers and let the caramel set completely. You can stick them into Styrofoam or holes of a colander. I used a regular mug filled with dry lentils.
