水果重量接近900公克,口感在棉花糖及牛軋糖中間的什錦纖果Q軟牛軋糖,是本身教學及進修齊進的麥田金老師專為廚娘香Q秀節目製作的,擁有菓子教師證、塑型豆沙花教師證、巧克力花教師證等的麥田金老師提醒用蛋白霜粉(乾燥的蛋白)代替水份比較高的新鮮蛋白,是這樣比較好操作。蛋白霜粉一定要加冷開水攪勻,再用電動攪拌機快速打約三分鐘成表面紋路很細緻光澤度很好的乾性發泡,把盤子倒過來蛋白不會掉下來喔!

材料:
A、水120克、寒天粉4克 (水30g、寒天粉1g)
B、細砂糖80克、鹽6克(砂糖20g、鹽1.5g)
C、86%水麥芽780克(水麥芽195g)
D、蛋白霜粉80克、冷開水80克(蛋白霜40g)
E、發酵奶油80克(奶油20g)
F、奶粉120克(奶粉30g)
G、綜合乾燥水果乾900克(藍莓50克、覆盆子50克、芒果100克、草莓100克、無花果100克、柚子皮100克、香蕉90克、蘋果100克、鳯梨及柳橙適量)(果乾225g)

做法:
1.蛋白霜粉加冷開水攪勻,用電動攪拌機快速打約三分鐘成乾性發泡,備用。
2.寒天粉泡水30分鐘,選一個有深度的鍋子,中小火加熱寒天粉,煮滾後再沸騰約三十秒左右熄火。加入白砂糖或海藻糖後再加一點點鹽,開火煮開後,熄火。
3.另一鍋子的水麥芽加熱回軟,熄火。水麥芽加入寒天粉泡水中,煮到鍋中糖漿重量780公克 (195g)(可以正負五公克)熄火。
4.備用的蛋白霜粉再用電動攪拌機快速打約30秒補充空氣進去。蛋白霜粉分二次加入已熄火且已加入水麥芽的寒天粉泡水中,輕輕攪勻。(如拿起來沒有流動感或攪拌不易,表示溫度低了,可開小小火20秒,即要關掉火,以免蒸掉糖裡水分。)
5.加入發酵奶油攪拌均勻。可開小小火20秒,即要關掉火。
6.全脂即溶奶粉加入,拌勻。
7.加入乾燥水果:先加軟Q的芒果、無花果等水果,再加乾脆的蘋果、香蕉、草莓等拌勻,總重300公克,拌入糖漿中,拌勻,一小團一小團的倒在舖了烤焙布的糖盤上,推平,在糖果表面貼上柳橙片及鳳梨片乾。用透氣的烤焙布鋪在上面, 放涼後即可以切,或者也可用保鮮膜放24小時再切,放的時間長比較好切開。
8.糖果冷却後,上面放一張烘焙紙,把整個糖果翻過來,撕開烘焙布後再放上一張烘焙紙,再翻回正面撕開烘焙紙。切小塊,長3.5-4公分寛度1.5公分,儘快包裝。

Torrone (Allrecipes)

Ingredients

Directions

  • Line an 8x11-inch baking dish with plastic wrap, allowing ends to hang over the sides. Place 1 sheet of 8x10 wafer paper in the bottom of the pan. Keep the roasted almonds and pistachios in a warm place until ready to add at the end. This makes it easier to mix them in.

  • Pour honey into a heavy-bottomed pot. Add sugar. Mix and stir over low heat with a spatula, stirring constantly until mixture turns from grainy to silky and smooth, about 30 minutes. Remove pot from heat.

  • Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl; add a pinch of salt. Whisk until whites form soft peaks, 3 to 4 minutes. Place pot back on low heat. Gradually whisk about a quarter of the whipped egg whites into the honey/sugar mixture; whisk in the remaining egg whites in 3 more batches.

  • Continue cooking over low heat, stirring constantly with a spatula until mixture turns a brighter white and a ribbon of the mixture does not immediately incorporate back into the rest of the mixture and stays intact on the surface for a while. This will take about 40 minutes. You can add a few drops of the mixture into a small bowl of ice cold water to test the consistency; ideally it should feel like soft clay.

  • Whisk in vanilla and lemon zest. Add warm almonds and pistachios and stir to incorporate evenly.

  • Transfer mixture to prepared baking dish. Even out as best you can with a clean oiled spatula. Top with 2nd sheet of wafer paper, shiny side up. Cover with plastic wrap and press down evenly, tamping mixture down gently but firmly. Remove top layer of plastic.

  • Allow torrone to sit at room temperature until cool, firm, and ready to cut, 1 or 2 hours. Lift torrone from baking dish with the edges of the bottom layer of plastic wrap. Invert and remove plastic from the bottom. If the plastic wrap is difficult to remove from the edges of the torrone, you can trim off the edges.

  • Cut torrone into 1-inch squares using a sharp serrated knife.

Sugar Cooking Technique

Candy - Sugar Cooking Techniques


CLASSIC CANDY MAKING METHODS - WET AND DRY

Candy making begins when the sugar solution, made from crystalline (table) sugar (sucrose), sometimes along with its close relative such as glucose or corn syrup (invert sugars), is dissolved in water, called the WET METHOD. Sugar can also be cooked on its own, called the DRY METHOD. Either type is then boiled or cooked to a codified temperature and density in order to caramelize. During the process, bear in mind that the various degrees of heat produce differing results in the syrup or candies, and that the real trick in candy making is to remove the heat at the exact moment when the desired result is reached.

Depending upon the recipe, melting the sugar can happen in one of three different ways:
The two classic methods, being wet or dry cooked on the stovetop; or, a third modern wet method, using the microwave to cook. 

HOW TO TIPS:
WET METHOD
Best when making light to medium-colored caramels; this method gives more control. This involves moistening the sugar with a little water. This method tends to take a bit longer -- which can be a good thing. Once the caramelization process starts, it happens so quickly you're only a few seconds away from having a pot full of burnt sugar, and you'll have to start again.

The disadvantage of the wet method, however, is the tendency of the sugar to crystallize, which can give caramel a grainy texture and cause it to cook unevenly. For that reason, it's best not to stir during the caramelization process, instead, shake or swirl the pot for more even browning. Instead, I recommend simply adding a pinch of an acidic ingredient, such as cream of tartar or lemon juice, which inhibits the sugar from crystallizing.

  1. If making a sugar syrup (sugar mixed with water or liquid), first pour the sugar into the bottom of a 1- or 2-quart heavy-bottomed pan, taking care not to sprinkle it on the sides. Pour the water around the inside edge of the pan or if using small amounts, pour in the center.  
  2. Then with a clean wooden spoon, mix the sugar and water together, being careful not to touch the sides of the pot until the mixture reaches the consistency of wet sand. To help it along, rub the sugar in between your fingers until the water is fully incorporated. Don't wipe spoon on the sides after stirring. 
  3. Stir the sugar constantly over LOW HEAT until the sugar is COMPLETELY DISSOLVED or your candy will crystallize or be grainy. Clean off the insides of the pan with a damp paper towel or moistened pastry brush to remove all sugar crystals. Be careful when using a pastry brush as a few bristles can get lost in the hot caramel.  
  4. All sugar crystals must be dissolved and the inside sides of the pan clean before the mixture comes to a boil. 
  5. After the syrup comes to a simmer, skim off any gray foam, which are impurities from the sugar.
  6. Suspend a Candy Thermometer in the pot. 
  7. Increase the heat to medium-high or high heat, making sure it does not shoot around the sides of the pan. 
  8. Cook WITHOUT STIRRING until light golden brown or 320 degrees F or the temperature the recipe indicates. Lower the flames as you get close. 
  9. Quickly remove the pan from the heat and shock it in ice-water bath by immersing pan half way for 5 seconds. Wipe off the bottom of the pot with paper towels. 
  10. Then, remove the caramel to either a greased marble slab, silpat mat or a heat-proof bowl.
  11. Proceed with the recipe.

DRY METHOD
The dry method is to take plain sugar alone and melt it at very high temperatures in a heavy, wide-bottomed pot, until it reaches the right color.  As you slowly heat the sugar, the edges and bottom will melt first, then you stir gently to promote even melting or tilt and swirl the pan.

Some peanut brittles, for example, are made by melting dry sugar alone. The brittle does not  crystallize because the lack of water during the cooling period causes it to take the form of a non-crystalline, glassy solid. Use it when making darker caramels, as it's nearly impossible to make a medium to light-colored caramel with this method. The Wet Method is best. 

  1. When making candy, place a 1- or 2-quart saucepan over medium-high heat until the pan is warm, not hot. 
  2. Add the sugar and cook, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until all of it has melted.
  3. Clamp on a Candy Thermometer.
  4. The sugar syrup will take on a light golden brown at 320 degrees F or whatever the recipe indicates.  
  5. Quickly remove the pan from the heat and shock it in ice-water bath by immersing pan half way for 5 seconds.
  6. Remove the caramel to either a greased marble slab, silpat mat or a heat-proof bowl.
  7. Proceed with the recipe.

MODERN METHOD - MICROWAVE WET METHOD
The microwave method uses it as a heat source and is a quick and fail-safe method.  

  • Place 1/2 cup sugar in a 2-cup Pyrex glass measuring cup.
  • Add 1/4 cup corn syrup or 4 to 5 drops of lemon juice. Stir until all combined.
  • Add 1 tablespoon water, if necessary. 
  • Place in a microwave and microwave on high until bubbles start piling up on top of one another. Watch mixture very carefully.
  • As soon as you see a color change, watch carefully, as the mixture will quickly go from light to dark in color.
