Description
A delightful Chinese street food featuring juicy strawberries coated in a sweet, glossy caramel that evokes childhood memories.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 strawberries, rinsed and dried
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- ½ cup water
Instructions
- Wash and cut the stems off the strawberries, rinsing them under cold water.
- Dry them thoroughly to ensure moisture does not affect the syrup coating.
- Skewer the strawberries onto wooden skewers for easy dipping.
- Combine sugar and water in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring until dissolved.
- Heat the mixture until it reaches the hard-crack stage (300ºF–310ºF).
- Dip strawberries quickly into the syrup to coat, allowing excess to drip off.
- Place coated skewers on parchment paper to harden, watching the syrup crystallize.
Notes
Avoid excess moisture on strawberries to ensure syrup adheres well. Serve fresh for the best experience.
