Candied Strawberries
I had a bowl of strawberries sitting in my refrigerator starting to look a little sad. What to do? Turn them into candied strawberries! I’ve never been a huge fan of Martha Stewart’s recipes. Most times I try her recipes they fail and NEVER look like her beautiful photos.
In an effort to save the strawberries and achieve a “candy” recipe for this month’s theme I tried a Martha recipe that worked…
A little too well, I ate them all in one sitting.
This recipe is easy and can be walked away from while they bake. I put a Target bookcase together while I made these tasty delights!
