It is often believed that candied fruits are sweets made exclusively from citrus fruits, such as orange peel.
However, the range of ingredients for candied peel is much wider than just citrus fruits. Today we offer you a recipe for candied strawberries.
The taste of these candied fruits is indescribable—you have to try it. And, importantly, these candied fruits are not only delicious, but also healthy!
Ingredients:
- Strawberries – 1 kg
- Sugar – 800 g
- Water – 1 l
Instructions:
- Dissolve sugar in water and bring to a boil.
- Plunge the berries into the boiling syrup and simmer for about 10 minutes. Then drain in a colander. We recommend choosing medium-sized and uniform-sized berries.
- Place the strawberries on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place them in the oven and dry them with the door slightly ajar at 45-50 degrees Celsius (113-122 degrees Fahrenheit) until the surface is thoroughly dry but still firm.
- Place the prepared candied fruit in sterilized glass jars and seal. If possible, place the candied fruit in a container, seal with a lid, and freeze.
These strawberries can be a great filling for pies, compote, cake decoration, or just a treat.
