Tips:
- Choose ripe, firm strawberries for your towers. Avoid berries that are bruised or have soft spots.
- Wash the strawberries thoroughly before using them.
- Use a sharp knife to cut the strawberries into even slices.
- If you are using skewers to assemble the towers, soak them in water for at least 30 minutes before using to prevent them from burning.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the skewers when assembling the towers. Leave some space between each strawberry slice so that air can circulate and the berries can dry evenly.
- Bake the towers at a low temperature (200-225°F) for 2-3 hours, or until the strawberries are dry and leathery.
- Let the towers cool completely before serving.
