I hope you've been keeping that finger in icy water.
Oh hon, candy temps (along with oil ones) are wayyy to hot to mess with. :(
for future reference, here's how to test the *ball* stage of candies. The easiest, bestest way is to use a candy thermometer ;) But if you want to learn how they used to do it....
Line up several small bowls (like Chinese tea cups) of ice water.
When testing, drip the candy into one, wait a few secs, then with your fingernail, scoop it out to feel it's texture (soft ball, cracking,
Thanks Golly for the kind words and info.
It's better now, just blistered....but before it felt like my finger was on fire and each nerve was burning.
Glad to hear your finger's going to be ok Tracy.
>> it sure took a long time getting to the soft ball stage - - but, you are right, the temp was 240degrees F and when I dropped bits into ice water, it was soft-bally.....cool how that works out!(lol)
**It really does take a long time to get to the soft ball stage and farther on. ;) And I still use the icy water test-in fact, I probably go through about 6 small cups of it till I'm happy with the texture of the soft/hard setting .
If you like divinity, I'll share my divinity recipe with you around Thanksgiving time. :)
It's not for the faint hearted (it can be tempermental) lol and lifting weights will definitely help with the beating of it if you don't have a strong mixer motor (a hand mixer would burn out quickly).
I will definitely have to try this pumpkin fudge . Thanks Tracy. :)
Since dh is a fudge purest, we'll see how it goes. ;)
Big hugs and rest that finger!

Thanks Judie for the Chicken breast/goat cheese rollups. I used a blend of goat/feta cheeses and they were great -served it w/ "Mashed Fauxtatoes"
Steam a head of cauliflower till tender. Let drain dry then add to processor w/ 2 TBSP Cream Cheese and a TBSP of butter. Puree till consistency of mashed potatoes. Salt & Pepper to taste.
Next time I'll double the recipe tho - ate half of it standing at the kitchen counter

WOW - - now THAT sounds scrumptious!!
I will have to try that....I bet it is wonderful...and not hard to put together either!
There is always the danger of "testing" too much while still cooking!(lol)...then nothing left for the bowl!(g)
Thanks for that one Bill!!
