Edinburgh Rock RecipeOrigin: Scottish Period: Traditional |
|
Though it commemorates the rocky outcrop on which the city of Edinburgh is built, Edinburgh Rock is actually a soft, sweet confection slightly reminiscent of marshmallow. It's traditional for tourists to take this away from the city with them. But now you can make your own! Ingredients:
450g sugar lumps 
Edinburgh Rock Preparation:Method:Add the sugar and water to a heavy-based saucepan and heat gently until all the sugar dissolves. Bring the mixture almost to a boil then add the cream of tartar and beat well to combine. Now bring to a boil and continue boiling until the mixture reaches the hard ball stage (or has reached 120°C on a confectioner's thermometer). Using two or three heat-proof bowls (depending on the number of colours you will use) divide the mixture evenly. Stir in the separate food colourings then add a few drops of the flavouring. Oil shallow baking tins and pour the mixtures into separate tins. Using an oiled palette knife, turn the edges of the mixture over towards the centre as they begin to cool. Then, when the mixture is cold enough to handle pull and fold the mixture until it becomes smooth and elastic. Finally pull into a long rope about 1cm in diameter. Using greased scissors cut the confection into lengths about 6cm long. Set these on greaseproof paper (don't let them touch) and leave for 24 hours to harden. Store in an air-tight container. |
