{'id': 'step_3', 'step': 4, 'text': 'Remove pan from heat, let stand until bubbles subside, 1 to 2 minutes. Carefully tilt pan so sugar mixture pools to one side. Working quickly, place fruit end of one skewer in sugar mixture, rotating to fully coat; allow excess syrup to drip back into pan. Place dipped skewer, fruit side down, in ice bath, allowing to cool fully, about 1 minute. Place, fruit side up, in a heavy cup or saucepan. Repeat with remaining skewers and sugar mixture, working quickly. Using kitchen scissors, trim any excess sugar drips. Serve immediately.'}
