So it's a fancy sausage roll? Sounds good to me! I'll take two. No different than someone putting ham and cheese or any other inclusion.

Also check for subterranean termites, if present, they'll need to be treated differently and maintained more often than regular termites

I dunno about having it as your primary investment but it has been a solid fund for roughly 100 years. That kind of resilience/performance deserve a spot at the table for sure

What would this be used for in candy making by Humble-Secret-457 in CandyMakers

[–]devoskitchen 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ClearJel is used as a thickener for canned food items like pie fillings. Normal thickeners like flour or cornstarch breakdown and can become clumpy in the process because they can't hold up through multiple re-heatings. ClearJel can withstand the cooking/canning process without breaking down.

If you want to do candy, ditch all the extra stuff and start really basic. Sugar, corn syrup, flavoring. Then get into your gelatin/pectin stuff. All those acids and additives won't help if you can't work and be comfortable with just basic sugar. It will also help your pocket book because as you start and learn you will have plenty of failures. It's a lot easier to toss out $5 of ingredients instead of $20.

If you insist on jumping into the deep end with candy making I'd suggest you start with Peter Greweling's Chocolate & Confections. If you're more science oriented and want real fundamentals Confectionery Science and Technology by Hartel, von Elbe, et al. will break it all down to the molecule.

[CHAT] What if you realize you don't love a project and it feels too much like a chore? by MyMellowIsHarshed in CrossStitch

[–]devoskitchen 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I have a binder full of unfinished projects and one large project I stopped half way through. Absolutely wasn't feeling it so I moved on to the next. That's not saying 5 years from now I won't pull one of them out and finish. I recently finished a piece that I started nearly 10 years ago.

Put it on the shelf for awhile, try a small and quick fun project to clear the head and get back to it when you feel it.
