Equipment

Ingredients

  • 12-16 strawberries
  • 1 c sugar
  • 1/2 c water

Instructions

  • Prepare the Fruit by rinsing and thoroughly drying each piece. Skewer onto wooden skewers with 3-4 on each one. Fill a large bowl with ice cubes and water, set aside.
  • Heat in a medium-sized saucepan over medium high heat the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar dissolves and reaches 300 degrees F. using a candy thermometer. This will take about 10-15 minutes.
  • The syrup should be clear and bubbling. Remove it from the heat and quickly dip each fruit skewer into the hot sugar syrup. Make sure each is fully coated.
  • Allow any excess syrup to drip off. Submerge in Ice Water immediately for 1 minute each so the coating can cools and harden quickly. Remove and sit on parchment paper, enjoy immediately as coating will start to soften within 5 minutes.
