Rebuçados de Natal >>
Ingredients:
- Sugar 1 cup
- Water 1/2 cup
- Vinegar 1 tbsp
STEPS:
- This very simple treat is all that some of the poorest families could offer their kids at this special time of year so, for all its simplicity, it was very meaningful to many and that is why we decided to share it with you.
- Mix all the ingredients in a pot and place on the stove for about 45 minutes. To test that the right point has been reached take a little bit of the syrup and let go a drop into a glass of cold water. If, when you take it out it holds the ball shape but is malleable so that it can be moulded, then you have the right point to work with. Please exercise extreme caution because sugar burns are really bad and once it sticks to your skin it will keep burning without you being able to quickly wipe it off or wash it off.
- Grease a plate with butter and pour the syrup, then grease a pair of scissors and your hands. Pull pieces of caramel from the edges of the plate, cut them with the scissors and then shape them with your fingers into small hard candies.
- Place the candies in small decorative pieces of paper, wrap and it’s ready
Enjoy! |
