This weekend I was able to get my Christmas cards mailed, some shopping done, wrapped some gifts, and even made caramels. I was able to get perfect caramels despite the fact I had no running water and my candy thermometer's battery had died. I ended up using a meat thermometer which only registered temp up to 228 degrees. I was pretty nervous I was going to have to start over from scratch, but they ended up being just right.
Wow you made cady without a candy thermometer. Good for you. Sounds like you had a very bissy weekend. Hope you have a Verry Merry Christmas.....
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas...looks like it will be sweet! LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks! Merry Christmas to you both!! (Don't tell anyone, but I gave up sugar about a year and a half ago. The caramels are gifts. I had my husband test them for me since I wouldn't be able to judge them because I lost my desire for sugar.)
ReplyDeleteIf we were still neighbors you know I would have tested your caramels for you! How come you didn't have running water? I am so glad they turned out.
ReplyDeleteThanks! The motor on the pump in the well went bad. It was not very fun!!
