Clean the strawberries in a bowl with cold water.

Pat them dry with paper towels.

Remove the stems or leave them as is and skewer the strawberries for easy dipping.

Pour 300ml of water into a saucepan.

Add 400g of white sugar to the saucepan.

Use a strawberry to replace the effects of the corn syrup.

Combine the ingredients on low heat and melt all the sugar.

Turn the heat up to medium as the mixture starts to thicken.

Remove the strawberry from the syrup when it's ready.

Test if the syrup is ready by dropping a drop into ice water; if it crisps up and turns into hard candy, it's ready for coating.

Ensure the syrup is at the right temperature; if it's not hot enough, it won't crisp up, and if it's too hot, it might burn and turn bitter.

Remove from heat or close the stove-top.

Coat the strawberries with the syrup quickly to prevent it from overheating and turning into caramel or burning the fruit.

Place the coated strawberries to dry in a cool place.

Stick them in the bottom of a cardboard box or on a piece of parchment paper.

Check that they sound hard like glass.
