Peel the fruits and cut them into pieces (except for the orange that we will leave with the loose and separated segments). In a pan with boiling water cook the pieces for 15-20 minutes. Drain the fruit and reserve the water, completing with half a liter of cold water. Continue adding sugar and poach the fruit another 20 minutes. Then drain and reserve the syrup.
The next day boil the syrup and cook the fruit in it for 15 minutes. When they are ready, they must be frosted in sugar and bathed in molten chocolate. We can cool them separately to avoid sticking.
