Ingredients
- 20 pieces Fresh strawberries
- 200 grams Granulated sugar
- 100 milliliters Water
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Wash the strawberries thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Ensure they are completely dry to prevent the toffee from slipping off.
Step 2
Insert a toothpick or skewer into the top of each strawberry for easy handling.
Step 3
Lightly oil a baking sheet or a large piece of parchment paper with the vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
Step 4
In a medium saucepan, add the granulated sugar, water, and lemon juice. Stir lightly to combine.
Step 5
Set the saucepan over medium heat and bring the mixture to a simmer, stirring gently only until the sugar fully dissolves.
Step 6
Once the sugar dissolves, stop stirring and allow the mixture to boil. Let it cook until it reaches a golden amber color or until it reaches 150°C (302°F) on a candy thermometer. Be sure to watch it closely to avoid burning.
Step 7
Remove the saucepan from the heat immediately when the toffee reaches the desired temperature and amber color.
Step 8
Working quickly, dip each strawberry into the toffee, tilting the pan if necessary to coat the strawberry completely. Allow any excess toffee to drip off before placing the coated strawberries onto the oiled baking sheet or parchment paper.
Step 9
Repeat the process for all strawberries, reheating the toffee on low heat if it begins to harden.
Step 10
Allow the toffee coating to cool and harden completely, about 10 minutes, before serving. Enjoy these crunchy, sweet treats!
