  • 12 large fresh strawberries
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • Ice cubes

Equipment

  • 4 Wooden skewers
  • Small saucepan

  • Paper towels

Method
 

  1. Wash and dry the strawberries, leaving the stems intact. Skewer 3 strawberries on each wooden skewer.
  2. In a small saucepan, combine the sugar and water. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300°F on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage).
  3. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  4. Prepare a bowl filled with ice water.
  5. Dip each skewered strawberry into the hot sugar mixture, coating it thoroughly. Allow any excess sugar to drip off.
