Description
Elevate your strawberry experience with these irresistible candied strawberries – a quick and easy dessert that’s bursting with sweet, tangy flavor. The simple sugar coating creates a delightful contrast to the juicy, fresh berries.
Ingredients
– 1 pound fresh strawberries, hulled and halved
– 1 cup granulated sugar
Instructions
1. Wash and gently pat dry the strawberries. Slice any large berries in half.
2. In a large skillet or saucepan, combine the strawberries and sugar. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the sugar has dissolved and the strawberries are coated in a thick, syrupy glaze, about 10-15 minutes.
3. Remove the pan from heat and let the candied strawberries cool completely, about 30 minutes.
4. Once cooled, the strawberries should have a shiny, crystallized sugar coating. Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
Notes
For best results, use fresh, ripe strawberries. The sugar coating will be thicker and more crystallized the longer you cook the berries. You can also try adding a splash of balsamic vinegar or orange zest for extra flavor.
