We've only made la tire once before and thought it would be fun to make some this year. I pulled out a recipe from Ricardo. Kyra pulled out the saucepan and the girls measured all the ingredients. They were allowed to stir the mixture initially but maman took over as the temperature of the candy mixture rose.
As I was surveying the thermometer, I suddenly noticed something wrong. The candy thermometer was cracked! Luckily it is just the outside glass tube that was cracked. But that means the first batch is no good! Off to the store for a new thermometer and back to the beginning.
Take 2
After visiting 7 stores to find a new thermometer, we restarted the recipe. It took a lot longer than expected to cool so the girls couldn't help with the pulling. The did get to pull small pieces. Hope they have fun distributing the candies at school.
Joyeuse Fête de la Ste Catherine!
