Description
Crunchy on the outside, juicy on the inside, these candied strawberries are a glossy sweet treat made with just a few simple ingredients and finished in minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound fresh strawberries
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly and dry them completely. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water and stir gently until the sugar is moistened.
- Place the saucepan over medium heat and allow the mixture to come to a boil without stirring.
- Continue boiling until the sugar reaches about 300°F and turns a light golden color.
- Carefully dip each strawberry into the hot sugar syrup, coating it evenly.
- Place the coated strawberries on the prepared parchment paper.
- Allow the sugar coating to harden for several minutes before serving.
Notes
- Make sure the strawberries are completely dry before dipping.
- Work quickly once the sugar is ready, as it hardens fast.
- Store at room temperature and avoid refrigeration.
