Strawberry Tanghulu

Cook Time 30 minutes

Serves 4

Ingredients

500g fresh strawberries, hulled 

1 cup caster sugar

½ cup water

Jug of iced water

Method

Wash, hull, and dry strawberries completely. Thread onto skewers.

In a small saucepan, combine sugar with water. Heat over medium, swirling the pan until sugar dissolves. Boil without stirring until syrup reaches hard crack stage (150°C) or a small drop in cold water solidifies instantly.

Working quickly, dip each strawberry into the hot toffee (or spoon it over), turning to coat evenly.

Place skewered strawberries onto a baking tray lined with baking paper to finish setting.
