Tried to make pecan pralines, without thermometer. Cooked and boiled for recommended 16 minutes. Poured onto wax paper. Refrigerated 24 hours. Candy like caramel.Is there a way to hardened it now?
My Grandfather used to make a white candy, he said he used a thermometer and it was set and cut into squares.
I don’t know what it was. Maybe divinity or some kind of white fudge.
Would you have recipes for something like this?
I’m making yogurt and need to check the temp (180 degrees). The only kind of thermometer I have is a candy/fry one. Will this work?
In this video, Betty demonstrates how to make Party Peanut Brittle. Everyone loves peanut brittle, and it is a perfect pick-up food at a party. Ingredients: 1 cup sugar 1/2 cup light corn syrup pinch of salt 1 cup dry-roasted peanuts 2 tablespoons butter 1 teaspoon baking soda 2 teaspoons vanilla extract cooking oil spray In a medium-sized heavy pot, stir together 1 cup sugar, ½ cup light corn syrup, and a pinch of salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Boil, without stirring, 5 minutes (310 degrees on a candy thermometer). Add 1 cup dry-roasted peanuts. Stir. Cook 2 or 3 more minutes (280 degrees on a candy thermometer). Mixture will be golden brown. Remove from heat and stir in 2 tablespoons butter, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and 2 teaspoons vanilla extract. Immediately, pour mixture into a 15-inch by 10-inch jellyroll pan that has been sprayed with cooking oil spray. Spread mixture with the back of a wooden spoon until of desired thickness and even. Let cool 5 minutes or until hardened. Break into pieces, using a large spoon. Place on serving dish, or store in an airtight container. The taste of this Party Peanut Brittle is outrageously good! You may want to use it at your Super Bowl Party as a sweet snack! I hope you love it! –Betty
I’ve already looked in the following mall department stores and shops but still nothing.
Can anyone suggest where I can find one? I’m really getting frustrated looking for where to buy one. All I found are candy thermometers and the range is too high for chocolate (100-300+F).
