"✨ Super Simple" homemade strawberry sugar gourd, a snack full of childhood memories, always makes children miss it. Whenever the night market stalls shimmer with the enticing light of sugar gourds, the children will always stop and look at the strings of crystal clear delicacies with expectant eyes. However, the strawberry gourds at the night market are expensive, and a bunch of them costs a lot of pocket money. So, as the strawberry season was coming to an end, I decided to make this delicious dessert for the kids and fulfill their wishes.
The process of making strawberry sugar gourd is not complicated, just sugar, boiling water, and fresh strawberries, and it can be easily completed. The key is to master the ratio of sugar water to make a sugar coating that is both crispy and non-sticky. When the crispy icing is wrapped in sweet and sour strawberries and served in the mouth, the multi-layered taste of the bursting juice is intoxicating. Each bite is filled with a full sense of happiness, and people can't help but take one bite after another.
During the production process, I worked with my children to enjoy this sweet parent-child time. The children excitedly picked strawberries, carefully skewered them on bamboo skewers, and then looked forward to the icing wrap. When the final process is completed and strings of crystal clear strawberry sugar gourds are presented in front of them, the children's faces are filled with smiles of satisfaction and joy.
This is not only a delicious dessert, but also a warmth and love from the family. Let the children taste the food at the same time, but also feel the warmth of the family and the power of family affection. Let's enjoy this super simple homemade strawberry candy gourd! ⭐️
