the absolute easiest way is to coat the fruit in egg whites and bury them in sugar overnight.
candying fruit is a time consuming process. you have to blanch the fruit a couple of times to remove bitterness from the pith, then submerge them in increasingly more saturated sugar solutions and let them sit for 24 hours each time. it takes about 3 or 4 days.

a quick candy -melt 1-cup-sugar with 1-tablespoon water heat to 450-500 degrees ,dip the lime slices ,powder with sugar and dry on rack
other than this the candie process takes 7-steps and a good 3-4 day's to complete so if your not making a ton of the stuff your better of using this or just buying a bag from the store !

boil sugar and water and when the sugar is melted drop in the fruit then let it dry.
