Candied Strawberries
- Ingredients
- 18 ozs Strawberries
- 9 ozs whole cane sugar
- 3 ½ ozs water
Clean and wash strawberries, but do not remove the green and stem. Put the sugar and water in a saucepan and bring to low boil and cook until the sugar has dissolved and the mixture has reached a thick consistency. Remove pan from heat.
Skewer one strawberry at a time on a small wooden stick and dip the fruit briefly into the still-warm sugar solution. Remove candied strawberries and let dry on a plate lined with baking/parchment paper. It is best to store them in the refrigerator before serving.
