Ingredients Equipment Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup strawberries hulled and halved
  • 1/4 cup sugar granulated
  • 1/4 cup water

Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Cooking spoon
  • Serving dish

Method
 

  1. Combine the sugar and water in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring gently until the sugar dissolves completely.
  2. Bring the syrup to a gentle simmer and let it cook for about 2 minutes until slightly thickened and fragrant.
  3. Add the halved strawberries to the saucepan and cook, stirring gently, for about 3-4 minutes until they are just tender and coated with the glaze. You'll notice the glaze starts to become glossy and slightly caramelized around the edges.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat and allow the strawberries to cool slightly in the syrup, absorbing the sweetness and developing a shiny, glazed appearance.
  5. Transfer the glazed strawberries to a serving dish, arranging them attractively to showcase their glossy, plump appearance.
  6. Serve immediately, allowing the natural aroma of caramelized sugar and fresh berries to fill the air.
