Can I candy pomegranate? It seems that making candied fruit is easy: cut it thin and boil in sugar syrup until ready. 

I'd like to make candied pomegranate, keeping the seed-surrounding bubbles intact. Will it work, or will the membrane prevent the sugar from entering? Can I do something (e.g. stick a pin into a few places) without losing the shape?
In India, there are typical traditional ways of Candying the Fruits like Pickling, Drying, etc. In your case with Pomegranate, you can always try Combination of Pickling &amp; Drying.

Try the following method,


Step 1: Make a 1/4 Inch Layer of Powdered Sugar in a Transparent Glass Jar
Step 2: Follow it with a Layer of Pomegranate (Note: Pomegranate must be spread horizontally &amp; not Stacked Vertically)
Step 3: Repeat Steps 1 &amp; 2 (Last Layer should always be of Sugar)
Step 4: Take a Cotton Cloth &amp; tie it on Mouth of Jar, covering Until Neck.
Step 5: Expose the Jar in Sun for Few Days.
Step 6: Empty &amp; Spread the Contents of Jar on a Baking Tray &amp; allow it to Dry in Sun for a Day.


Though, the process is not Instant &amp; very Tedious. But this slow cooking process will help to Lock the Freshness, Taste &amp; Essentials in any Fruit in best Man-Made Way.

I Usually do this with Seasonal Fruits.
