Ingredients:
2.5 blueberry juice (or any other juice)
7 sheets of gelatine paper (6 if you work with orange, mango, or pineapple juice)
2 tbsp. sugar
200 g 70% chocolate
Recipe:
Put the gelatine sheets in cold water and heat the juice. When the gelatine sheets soften, squeeze the water out of them and mix them with the sugar in the hot juice. Pour into a silicone ice cube tray and let it chill in the fridge for at least 3 hours (or overnight). Melt a third of the chocolate in a bowl over boiling water, then turn off the heat and mix in the rest of the chocolate. Dip the gelatine cubes in the melted chocolate while they are fridge cold. Finally, let them settle while cutting out 11×16 cm squares of wrapping paper. Wrap the Christmas candy in the paper and seal the ends off with strings.
It is a great way to decorate your Christmas tree or surprise a loved one.
Dunakavics (Pebbles of Danube)
Ingredients:
10 dkg peanuts
14 dkg sugar
7 dkg water
at least 3 different food colourings
Recipe:
Start with the sugar syrup. Mix the sugar into the water, bring it to a boil while stirring it, then turn it down to a low flame and let it simmer until it is done. (When you put a drop of it into water it does not dissolve). Put your food colourings into 3 different bowls and mix your sugar syrup into each of them. Divide your peanuts, put them into the bowls, and start stirring it. First, they will stick together, but stir until they come apart. Finally, lay them on a sheet of baking paper and let them chill.
I wish that all recipes were measured and noted in tsp ( teja kana’l) TB (leves kana’l) or cup (bo”gre) or parts of ….1/8, 1/4, 1/3/ , 1/2 since my kitchen tools all are in these measurments. Almost none of us have weight scales (except on the bathroom floor) and food comes in all sized boxes, cans, bags etc. Since the tools sold for measuing drygoods and liquids in the kitchen are all exactly the same accurate sizes it is almost improssible for even a novice in the kitchen to make errors. Even kids can measure correctly in a spoon or a cup once they have been shown the correct method of leveling the top with the back of a butter knife.
