Candied Strawberries

Step 1

Wash and dry the strawberries. Lay parchment paper/wax paper down on a clean counter.

Step 2

In a large saucepan, add in the sugar, corn syrup, and water.

Step 3

Over medium heat, stir until combined and let it cook to 300 degrees. I would highly recommend using a candy thermometer for this.

Step 4

After the sugar mixture has reached 300 degrees, turn the heat off.

Step 5

Push a skewer through the tops of the strawberries. Hold the skewer and the leafy green tops and carefully dip the strawberries into the hot sugar.

Step 6

Give the wrist holding the skewer/strawberry a few gentle taps to remove any excess sugar.

Step 7

Place onto the parchment paper/wax paper to cool and harden.

Step 8

I recommend serving them/eating them on the same day.

Step 9

Store in the fridge in an airtight container lined with wax paper for no longer than 4 to 5 hours. The candy coating will get soft and form puddles around the strawberries after the 4 or 5-hour mark or so.
