Please Note

Ingredients may vary by product and region. If you have food allergies or dietary restrictions, please review all ingredient labels carefully before cooking. Consult your doctor or a registered dietitian if you have any health concerns.

Instructions

1

Wash the strawberries in water, then thoroughly pat them dry with paper towels. Insert a toothpick into the stem end of each strawberry.

2

Combine the water and sugar in a pot and heat over medium heat. Cook, gently swirling the pot occasionally, until the syrup reduces and turns lightly golden. Remove from the heat and place the pot on a damp cloth to let the syrup cool slightly. This is your candy syrup.

Note:

Cook until large bubbles form and the syrup turns lightly golden. Be careful, as the syrup can crystallize if its temperature drops suddenly or if you stir it.

3

Coat the strawberries in the candy syrup, arrange them on parchment paper, and let them cool at room temperature until set.

Note:

Be careful not to burn yourself, as the candy syrup is extremely hot. Work quickly, as the candy syrup hardens easily. Enjoy them as soon as possible after they are ready.
