Sugared Strawberries Recipes

SWEET STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Put the strawberries in a bowl, add the sugar, zest and vanilla and stir. Leave to macerate for 30 minutes at room temperature. The sugar will soften the fruit and draw delicious juices out to make a delicious syrup.
• Top with a sprig of fresh mint before serving!

CANDIED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Add the sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water to a small heavy-bottom saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring once to make sure the sugar dissolves. Attach a candy thermometer or use and instant read thermometer and bring to 300 to 310 degrees F. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 1 minute.
• Stir the sugar mixture to even out the temperature from top to bottom. Dip the strawberries, using the stem as a handle and swirling to coat. Remove and allow excess syrup to drip off, shaking as needed. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool and harden, about 10 minutes.
• Trim the ends of 12 extra-long lollipop sticks to the desired length to fit your vase. Carefully skewer each strawberry through the stem end and arrange into a bouquet in the vase. Serve within 2 hours (see Cook's Note).

SUGARED CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• Heat sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat; cook and stir until the sugar has dissolved, about 3 minutes. Remove syrup from heat and allow to cool until lukewarm. Add cranberries to syrup and carefully stir to coat. Cover and refrigerate 8 hours to overnight.
• Sprinkle a baking sheet with sugar and line a second baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Drain cranberries well and spread out onto the sugar-covered baking sheet. Roll in the sugar and transfer cranberries to the parchment-lined baking sheet in a single layer. Allow to dry for 3 hours.

SWEET SOUTHERN SUGARED STRAWBERRIES (STRAWBERRY TOPPING)

Steps:

• You will need a tupperware type container with a lid.
• First, slice as many strawberries as you would like and place them in the container.
• Then add as much sugar as you wish.
• The more sugar makes more syrup.
• I usually add enough to fully coat the strawberries.
• Now put the lid on the container and tumble the strawberries for a minute so they can get saturated in the sugar.
• Now refrigerate the container for a couple of hours, and you will have the tastiest, sweetest strawberries in their own syrup.
• (I usually leave them in the refrigerator over night).
