Product Information

Warning: Don’t try to cool it faster in the fridge. The candy might absorb undesirable odors, or the surface may dry out too fast and get crusty, Parks says. Sherbet has been used in parts of both the UK and Australia as slang for an alcoholic drink, especially beer. This use is noted in a slang dictionary as early as 1890, and still appears in lists of slang terms written today (especially lists of Australian slang). "We're heading to the pub for a few sherbets" – meaning "... pints of beer." [6] See also [ edit ]

A similar candy, made in Italy and popular in the United States, is Zotz, a brand sold in various fruit flavours. Bring a few ounces of water to boil in a pot. The exact amount doesn’t matter—just make sure that the bottom of the bowl won’t touch the water, otherwise it will get too hot and burn your mixture.The new 'fizzy cola' flavour of crisps has appeared in shops across Ireland in recent days and many were keen to try out the bizarre combination.

It became a game—who could swallow the biggest chunk,” Mitchell told People in 1979. “It was a fun afternoon and we wasted a lot of time, but I thought it was a good thing from the start.” Note: Don’t worry about adding too much water. Candy-making is the process of removing water, so as long as you get to the right temperature, it doesn’t matter how much water there is to start—it just might take longer, Parks says. This reassured us when we realized our silicone brush did not hold water well at all and we’d need to use quite a bit of it. If your thermometer doesn’t clip on, you may have to improvise. Just be careful that the probe only touches the sugar. John KennedySmash the candy. Put the candy inside a zip-top bag and smash it into bite-size pieces. Store it in an airtight container for up to two weeks. Warning: Don’t use a glass dish. It could shatter if it’s not tempered, or if it’s tempered and set down on a hard surface, Parks cautions.

Sherbet can be sold by itself or used as a decorative agent on other sweets. The measured qualities of sherbet include granularity, colour, "zing" (acidity) and flavouring (normally a citrus fruit). Note: If you’re making salted caramel like we did, add the extra 2 teaspoons of salt now, but save the sea salt for later. Despite its name, caramelization isn’t the main reason why caramel candies have that smooth, brown color they’re known for. Sugar caramelizes at a wide range of temperatures, but when you’re making caramel, the process doesn’t start until all the water has been cooked out of the mixture—about 320 degrees Fahrenheit, Stella Parks says.Attach the thermometer to the pan. If you have a clip-on one, great. If not, you may be able to rig something up using various kitchen and office supplies like we did. You can also take intermittent measurements without having the thermometer constantly in the mixture, but your readings may not be as accurate. Warning: Don’t use the microwave here. Nuked butter explodes too easily, which could cause you to lose some dairy, affecting the candy’s final texture. You may also be tempted to avoid butter bursts by not heating it up as much, which could cause it to cool faster, risking a more volatile reaction when you add it to the melted sugar, Parks says.
