brush the fruit with a little eggy whites and then dip in super fine sugar and allow to dry a little on a cooling rack, that's about it........oh......sometimes certain things like berries can be more difficult because the moisture will get drawn out by the sugar.....other things like plums, apples, figs work REALLY well......grapes look really cool too! You can also sugar rose petals.....they're delcious and look gorgeous.......make sure they're organic and safe to eat first.
I am assuming you are talking about glaceed fruit where you dip the fruit in a boil sugar mixture. Or you talking macerating fruit where you let the fruit stand covered in sugar for a few minutes.
The mainthing is to make sure the fruit is good and dry if you are going to dip them in boiled sugar and I would wait till the last minute because the water content of especially strawberries will evenually melt the sugar.

I love the look of the sugared pansies. They are non toxic as well as I understand although I have not eaten them myself.
I would recommend using powdered egg whites to cut down on the bacteria risk.
To sugar your fruit, edible flowers or edible petals:
you reconstitute the egg whites, the box of meringue powder will tell you what the ratio is.
you then use the super fine sugar.
If you do NOT have or find superfine sugar in your supermarket you can make your own by using a food processor. I like to use a little clear edible glitter mixed into my sugar for a little special touch.
Also...
For a pretty shine on the fruits:
also, to get a "shinny" effect on your fruit you do not have to dip them in hot sugar...you can brush your fruit with a little warm fruit glaze that you sieve or some jello. you brush these on your fruit, do not over load a brush ( pastry brush ) and brush the liquid over your fruit, let it dry and they will have a pretty shine.
