Ingredients
- 1 lb strawberries You can also switch strawberry to other fruits, such as grapes, diced apple, kiwi ...
- 2 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Preparing the syrup
- Heat up 2 cups of sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan at medium heat. Before the water boil, stir to help the sugar dissolve and place the candy thermometer into the mixture. Stop stirring after the mixture begins to boil. Agitation can cause the sugar to crystallize.
- Use a wet brush to wipe down the side of the pot during the first few minutes of cooking. It is because: once the mixture is boiling, there is liquid splash the sides of the pot. It can be a chance for the crystal to grow.
- Once it becomes 300F/148C “hard crack”, it is ready for coating. See the FAQ sections if not using a candy thermometer.
Coating strawberries
- Method 1 - Use a toothpick to hold a strawberry, and dip it into the syrup. Spin around to coat evenly, place them on parchment to cool down.
- Method 2 – Use a spoon to take some syrup, spin the strawberry at the bottom. The sugar string will cover the strawberry, and the sugar strings will stay there when it cools down.
