Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 1/3 cup corn syrup
- 12 large ripe but firm long-stem strawberries
Instructions
- Add the sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water to a small heavy-bottom saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring once to make sure the sugar dissolves. Attach a candy thermometer or use and instant read thermometer and bring to 300 to 310 degrees F. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 1 minute.
- Stir the sugar mixture to even out the temperature from top to bottom. Dip the strawberries, using the stem as a handle and swirling to coat. Remove and allow excess syrup to drip off, shaking as needed. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool and harden, about 10 minutes.
- Trim the ends of 12 extra-long lollipop sticks to the desired length to fit your vase. Carefully skewer each strawberry through the stem end and arrange into a bouquet in the vase. Serve within 2 hours (see Cook’s Note).

Reviews
Me and my friend tried this, and the sugar ended up burnt and it would not stick to the strawberry.
My son and his friends have seen people do this on social media platforms and he wanted to try it. We worked together and had a good time. Fun activity and fun to eat! I asked and he said he would give it 5 stars!
worked well
