This is a recipe for anyone who likes putting in a little extra effort and wants a challenge. There aren’t any complicated steps—it’s mostly about making a trip to a baking supply store to pick up a thermometer, pectin, and glucose syrup.

By the way, I also like adding pectin to my jams because it thickens them quickly, and glucose syrup goes into almost all of my ganaches. It makes them shinier, as well as more elastic and pliable. So you’ll have plenty to do with whatever you have left over. Otherwise, you can always make more strawberry jellies.

Ingredients

Ingredients (for a 8 x 12-inch / 20 x 30 cm pan):

½ cup minus 2 tablespoons (80 g) granulated sugar
2 tablespoons (20 g) pectin — available at baking supply stores
2½ cups (500 g) granulated sugar
3 tablespoons (40 g) lemon juice
¼ cup (80 g) glucose syrup
1 pint (350 g) strawberries, raspberries, or any berries you like
¾ cup (170 g) orange juice

For Coating:

1 cup granulated sugar

Instructions

- Line the pan with parchment paper to make it easier to remove the fruit candy later. If you have a silicone baking mat and rectangular mold, you can use those instead, but a regular baking pan works perfectly well.
- In a small bowl, mix the sugar and pectin together.
- Remove the stems from the strawberries and blend them with the orange juice until completely smooth.
- Place the glucose syrup and blended strawberries in a medium saucepan and heat until warm. - Slowly sprinkle in the pectin and sugar mixture while whisking constantly.
- Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 223°F (106°C).
- Remove from the heat and immediately add the lemon juice.
- Stir well and transfer to the prepared pan or rectangular mold.
- Let the fruit candy set overnight. Remove from the pan, cut into cubes, and coat all sides generously with sugar.
- Arrange the pieces on a tray and leave to dry for 2 days, or until the fruit candy is firm.
