HOMEMADE STRAWBERRY SPOON SWEET

Ingredients:

*1 Kg /35oz Strawberries

*1/2 cup lemon juice

*500 gr. / 17.6oz sugar

*2 tbsp glucose

*2 tsp vanilla extract

Directions:

Add into a large pan the strawberries, sugar, lemon juice and place on high heat. Boil for 10 minutes, without stirring.
While the strawberries boil, some white foam will probably surface on the water. Remove that foam with a spoon.
Using a slotted spoon, remove carefully the strawberries from the syrup.
Into the pan with the syrup add the glucose and vanilla. Boil until the syrup is thick and glossy.
To check if the syrup is ready, take some syrup with a spoon and let it drip over the pan. When the last drops start to drip, place a plate under the spoon and drip one two drops on different spots on the plate. If the syrup spreads on the plate, you should boil a little bit more; if the drops stand firm, then the syrup is ready.
Then add the strawberries into syrup.
Let the sweet cool down, wiggling every now and then the pan, to help the strawberries puff.
Place into sterilized jars and cover when it cools down completely.
Store into the fridge.
