Prepare the fruit

• Wash the strawberries and dry them completely.
• Thread the strawberries onto the skewers, leaving a small gap at the top.

Make the sugar syrup

• Combine the sugar and water in a saucepan.
• Heat over medium heat without stirring until the syrup reaches about 150 °C and turns pale golden.

Dip and set

• Dip each fruit skewer into the hot syrup, turning to coat evenly.
• Plunge immediately into the ice water for a few seconds to set the candy shell.
• Place on a tray and let the shell harden before serving.
