Steps:
- Add the sugar, corn syrup and 1/4 cup water to a small heavy-bottom saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat, stirring once to make sure the sugar dissolves. Attach a candy thermometer or use and instant read thermometer and bring to 300 to 310 degrees F. Remove the pot from the heat and let sit for 1 minute.
- Stir the sugar mixture to even out the temperature from top to bottom. Dip the strawberries, using the stem as a handle and swirling to coat. Remove and allow excess syrup to drip off, shaking as needed. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and allow to cool and harden, about 10 minutes.
- Trim the ends of 12 extra-long lollipop sticks to the desired length to fit your vase. Carefully skewer each strawberry through the stem end and arrange into a bouquet in the vase. Serve within 2 hours (see Cook's Note).
SUGARED CRANBERRIES

SUGARED RASPBERRIES
Here's an old method for preserving fruit with a fresh taste without cooking. The juicy crushed berries make a nice spread for bread, and a delicious filling for cake. Sugared berries will keep for a year or longer under refrigeration. You can prepare blackberries or strawberries the same way, but raspberries seem to do and taste best. Adapted from The Gift of Southern Cooking by Edna Lewis and Scott Peacock. Raspberries are grown all over the United States and Europe, and belong in the New Englan, Mid Atlantic, Southern, Mid West, Eastern European, French, Australian, and Scandinavian catagories.

Steps:
- Carefully pick over the berries, removing leaves, foreign objects, and spoiled berries. Place the berries in a mixing bowl, and pour the sugar over them.Use two large forks to mash the sugar into the berries until they are liquified and there is no trace of whole berries left. Don't use a blender, it will pulverize seeds, and they should be left whole.
- Transfer to jars and refrigerate 2 days before using. They will keep one year refrigerated.

Steps:
- Mash berries with sugar and salt in a bowl with a potato masher until berries are liquefied and sugar has dissolved. Let stand, covered and chilled, 3 days (to allow flavors to develop), stirring once a day.
Tips:
- Choose the ripest and freshest blackberries you can find. This will ensure that they are sweet and flavorful.
- Gently wash the blackberries and pat them dry with a paper towel. Do not over-handle the berries, as this can cause them to bruise.
- Use a small, sharp knife to remove the stems from the blackberries. Be careful not to cut into the berries themselves.
- In a medium bowl, combine the sugar and water. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
- Add the blackberries to the sugar syrup and gently stir to coat. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
- When you are ready to serve, drain the blackberries from the syrup. Reserve the syrup for use in cocktails, mocktails, or desserts.
- Serve the sugared blackberries on their own, or use them to garnish cakes, pies, or ice cream.
