Cook Mode Prevent your screen from going dark

Instructions

Prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup (if using). Heat over medium heat without stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches 300°F (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.
Reduce the heat to low to keep the syrup warm and fluid.
Carefully dip each strawberry into the syrup, coating it evenly, and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Allow the candied strawberries to cool and harden completely at room temperature before serving.

Notes

Ensure strawberries are completely dry before dipping to prevent splattering.
Work quickly as the sugar syrup hardens fast once removed from heat.
Do not refrigerate candied strawberries; they are best eaten the same day.
