Directions
Step 1
Dry strawberries by patting them with a paper towel. You want to remove all moisture on the strawberries or else it will crystallize the sugar in the syrup.
Step 2
Place strawberries upside down on a bamboo skewer.
Step 3
Prepare a bowl with ice and 1 cup of water and set aside.
Step 4
Add sugar and remaining water into a small saucepan and bring to medium-high heat. Use a candy thermometer to watch the temperature of the sugar. Once the temperature hits 300°F, turn the heat off.
Step 5
Now quickly but carefully swirl each skewered strawberry into the sugar syrup to coat. Try to keep the stems from the sugar.
Step 6
Once the strawberry is coated in the sugar mixture, gently swirl it into the ice water for a few seconds. Repeat this with the remaining strawberries.
Step 7
Stand the skewer in a tall glass to let the extra water drip off.
Step 8
Enjoy immediately.
