Dried Candy Strawberries Recipes

CANDIED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• 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).

OVEN-DRIED STRAWBERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 200°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Wash strawberries and cut off stem ends. Cut strawberries into slices, about 1/8" thick.
• Oven Baking Method: 4 hours total baking time. Place the strawberry slices on the prepared baking sheet, leaving a gap between slices. Pieces that are touching will stick together. Place the pan in the oven and bake for 2 hours. Remove the pan from the oven and use forks or tongs to flip the slices. Return the pan to the oven and bake for an additional 2 hours until the slices are dried.
• Microwave Baking Method: 30 - 40 minutes total cooking time. Remove the microwave plate from the oven and place a sheet of parchment paper on the microwave plate. Place strawberry slices on the parchment paper. Place the plate with the strawberries back in the microwave. Cook on defrost for 30 minutes. Use tongs or a fork to flip the slices and cook on defrost for another 5 minutes (or more as needed to achieve the desired consistency).
• Air Fyer Method: Approximately 1 hour total cooking time. Place sliced strawberries in an air fryer basket. Space them so the pieces are not touching. Cook at the air fryer's lowest setting, usually around 180ºF - 200 for 30 minutes. Use tongs to turn the berries. Cook for another 30 minutes. Repeat this until strawberry slices are leathery. See recipe notes if your air fryer has a dehydrate setting.
• Allow the slices to cool completely. Transfer dried strawberry slices to an airtight container. They will keep up to 5 days.
