Strawberry Candy Rose

Ingredients

• 12 pieces Fresh Strawberries (washed, stems removed, sliced thin (about 2 mm))
• 2 tablespoons Granulated Sugar (for glaze)
• 1 tablespoon Water (for glaze)

Instructions

1. Prepare Strawberries

   Rinse the strawberries under cold water, pat dry, remove the stems, and slice each berry into very thin rounds (about 2 mm thick).

   Time: PT5M

2. Make Sugar Glaze

   In a small saucepan combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and becomes a clear syrup that lightly coats the back of a spoon.

   Time: PT5M

   Temperature: Medium heat

3. Arrange the Rose

   On a clean plate, start with a single strawberry slice as the center. Overlap additional slices around the center, rotating slightly each time, to create a petal‑like rose shape. Use a wooden skewer to gently press the base of the rose together for stability.

   Time: PT5M

4. Glaze the Rose

   Using the heat‑resistant spoon, brush the warm sugar glaze over the entire rose, making sure each petal is lightly coated. The glaze will act as a mild adhesive and give a subtle shine.

   Time: PT2M

5. Set and Serve

   Allow the glazed rose to sit for 2–3 minutes at room temperature to let the glaze firm up. Serve immediately as a garnish for cakes, tarts, ice cream, or cocktails.

   Time: PT3M
