Been downright frustrating for me since May. All the usual things i do to unwind have been basically taken away. Thankfully I did manage to get offshore for a little spell, which in turn lead to an activity quite enjoyable, and often with great results...
Always experimenting it seems.
So, even though I have several tried & true methods for candy, I decided to experiment yet again.
Brine:
8 - 10 liters White Cranberry Juice
1.5 cups coarse salt
3 bags Demerra Sugar
1 full bottle Roasted Garlic & Red Pepper Spice
1 Liter Thai Sweet Chili Sauce
1/4 cup soy sauce.
Simple. Brined to 48 hours, dried for 8, then slow smoked for 12 hours (low heat).
Results:
Marvelous candy flavour with a distinctly tangy after-taste.
A new WINNER!
Cheers,
Nog
