Strawberry is one of the most popular fruits to get the tanghulu treatment. Just melt sugar in water and heat it up. Then, coat your strawberries in the melted sugar and set them aside to harden. The result is a shiny, red snack that gives a major crunch with each bite. You could even get fancy with it and make a strawberry rose tanghulu.
