Ingredients
Scale
Strawberry Tanghulu:
- 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled
- 2 cups granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- bamboo skewers
Instructions
- Prepare Strawberries: Thread strawberries onto bamboo skewers, 3–4 per skewer, and set aside.
- Make Sugar Syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine sugar and water. Heat over medium-high heat without stirring until the mixture reaches 300°F (150°C) on a candy thermometer (hard crack stage).
- Dip Strawberries: Immediately dip each skewer of strawberries into the syrup, turning to coat evenly. Let any excess drip off, then place skewers on a parchment-lined baking sheet to harden.
- Serve: Serve as soon as the coating is crisp.
Notes
- Work quickly when dipping strawberries, as the syrup hardens fast.
- If the syrup begins to thicken in the pan, briefly reheat to restore fluidity.
