Candied Strawberries

sugar

corn syrup

water

strawberries

Wash and dry the strawberries. Lay parchment paper/wax paper down on a clean counter.

In a large saucepan, add in the sugar, corn syrup, and water.

Over medium heat, stir until combined and let it cook to 300 degrees. I would highly recommend using a candy thermometer for this.

After the sugar mixture has reached 300 degrees, turn the heat off.

Push a skewer through the tops of the strawberries. Hold the skewer and the leafy green tops and carefully dip the strawberries into the hot sugar.

Give the wrist holding the skewer/strawberry a few gentle taps to remove any excess sugar.

Place onto the parchment paper/wax paper to cool and harden.

I recommend serving them/eating them on the same day.

Store in the fridge in an airtight container lined with wax paper for no longer than 4 to 5 hours. The candy coating will get soft and form puddles around the strawberries after the 4 or 5-hour mark or so.

This tanghulu recipe highlights delicious crunchy candied strawberries or other fruit made popular as a favorite Chinese street food!

Tanghulu

Wash and pat dry strawberries or fruit of choice.

Arrange fruit on bamboo skewer. I recommend 1-3 pieces per skewer.

Bring water and sugar mixture to a boil.

Using candy thermometer, boil sugar water mixture until the temperature reaches 300 degrees Fahrenheit. This will take approximately 5-10 minutes. See Note 1 if you do not have a candy thermometer.

When sugar water mixture has reached the desired temperature, dip your fruit skewer into the sugar mixture to coat the fruit.

Place each fruit skewer on your sheet pan, silicone baking sheet or parchment paper. See Note 2 about parchment paper.

Sugar coating should harden almost immediately. See Note 3 regarding storage.

Enjoy!

Easy Tanghulu Recipe (3 Ingredients)

fruit

cane sugar

Wash or peel the fruits and slice them if necessary. Thoroughly pat the fruits dry to help the sugar coating stick. Lightly spray a piece of parchment paper with cooking spray or grab a styrofoam block if you have one. Set aside.

Pierce each fruit with a wooden/bamboo skewer until it&rsquo;s secured in place. Add just enough fruit to each skewer so that it will be able to fully submerge in the sugar mixture.

Place a candy thermometer in a medium saucepan, then add the sugar and water. Heat the mixture over medium until it reaches 300&deg;F. Do not stir it and be careful not to exceed 300&deg;F or the sugar will burn.

In the meantime, fill a medium mixing bowl with ice water.

When the mixture reaches 300&deg;F, dip a fruit skewer, swirling to coat it evenly. Immediately submerge it in the ice bath. Remove it quickly from the water and place it on the piece of parchment paper or pierce it upright in the foam block to dry.

Repeat until no skewers are left. Let the tanghulu cool for 2-3 minutes, then serve immediately. Happy eating!
