Equipment

  • 4 wooden skewers

Ingredients

  • ice cubes

Instructions

    12 large fresh strawberries
  • 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).
    1 cup sugar, 1/2 cup water
  • Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  • Prepare a bowl filled with ice water and set aside.
    ice cubes
  • Dip each skewered strawberry into the hot sugar mixture, coating it thoroughly. Allow any excess sugar to drip off.
  • Immediately dip the coated strawberries into the ice water bath to cool and harden the sugar coating. Remove and pat dry.
  • Serve the strawberry tangulu skewers chilled and crispy, as a delicious and unique treat.

Notes

Storage: To store your candied strawberries, place them in an airtight container and keep them at room temperature for up to a day. You do not want to refrigerate them because this can cause the candy coating to become sticky and lose its crunch. For the best texture and flavor, it's best to enjoy them on the same day they are made.
