In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Once dissolved, stop stirring and allow the mixture to boil until it reaches an amber caramel color. This can take 8-12 minutes. Be careful not to burn it.

Once the caramel is ready, carefully dip each skewered strawberry into the hot caramelized sugar, ensuring it's completely coated. Work quickly as the caramel will harden. Place the dipped strawberries on parchment paper or a cooling rack to cool and harden completely. This will take about 15 minutes.
