Step 1

Wash and fully dry strawberries. Moisture prevents the sugar coating from sticking.

Step 2

Thread fruits onto wooden skewers, leaving space at the bottom.

Step 3

In a saucepan, mix sugar and water. Stir gently to dissolve, then boil without stirring until the syrup thickens. Meanwhile, fill a large bowl with ice cubes and cold water.

Step 4

Test readiness by dropping syrup into ice water, if it hardens instantly, it’s ready. If it stays soft or doesn't harden, continue boiling the syrup a bit longer until it thickens properly.

Step 5

Reduce heat to low. Quickly dip each fruit skewer into the syrup, tilting the pan for full coating.

Step 6

Immediately dip in ice water to harden.

Step 7

Place on parchment paper to set for a few minutes.
