How to Make 4th of July Strawberries
Celebrate America’s birthday in style with these red, white and blue strawberry delights. All you need are large, quality strawberries and a little chocolate, then watch these treats disappear in a minute.
Steps
-
Pour blue sugar into a small bowl. Place the bowl near the area where you plan to let the strawberries dry, preferably on a sheet of waxed paper laid out on the counter.
-
Melt chocolate in a separate bowl. You can melt chocolate a few different ways--either in the microwave or using a double boiler.
- Microwave chocolate in a glass bowl in 20 second increments. Stir chocolate and then return to the microwave until the chocolate is almost completely melted. Stirring chocolate will encourage the melting process.
- Alternatively, melt on a double boiler by simmering chocolate on low, stirring constantly. Remove from heat just before chocolate is completely melted. Continue stirring until chocolate is completely melted.
-
Dip strawberry into white chocolate, ¾ of the way. Hold the strawberry by the green stem to dip. Don’t dip all the way up--you want the top portion to remain red.
-
Dip the bottom third of the chocolate covered strawberry into the blue sugar. Spoon sugar over the bottom to completely cover it.
-
Place strawberry on waxed paper until cool/hardened.
-
Enjoy!
Ingredients
- Large strawberries (washed and dried)
- White chocolate
- Blue edible sugar
Tips
- Only use ripe, red strawberries, and wash the strawberries well for the best results.
- Leave the strawberry green tops on, so you can grip the strawberries for dipping.
- To make your own blue sugar, mix 1/2 cup of granulated sugar with 5 drops of blue food coloring in a bag. Shake well, and let dry on a baking sheet for 20 minutes. Now, use it in a recipe!
- For extra flavor, you may want to use flavored sugars, such as Blue Raspberry and Blueberry.
- Try this recipe with other red fruits such as raspberries for a bit of variety.
