Thank you for the tutorial! Made my first batch tonight and was hoping to tap into the trial and error you mentioned. My consistency was slightly moist and would crack and crumble if I were to try a rolling pin on it. Less like playdo more like moist sand. I was still able to form it and it kept it's shape but was hoping you could offer some insight. BTW, we had 3 candy thermometers that all gave different readings. I ended up grabbing my digital from the garage like yours, haha. Thanks again for the time!

James Kroeger sounds like it was slightly too hot while cooking. Elevation makes a difference too. Try the next batch at 230

Keep in mind that those temperature do NOT apply if you live at high altitudes. You'll end up with a sugar brick. Experiment to find what works.

Your video was great but I must be a fool. I carefully followed the instructions but mine turned to sugar. Any suggestions? Maybe I didn't mix it well enough before turning on the heatl. With a pastry brush I even rinsed down the sides of the pan freeing it from sugar crystals (while I was stirring) . I'm wondering if the heat from my gas stove is too hot to begin with. It seems a gradual heat would be helpful to make sure all the sugar is dissolved before it boils. I've made candy fondant before but the sugar ratio of course is not so high. How much water would I add to my failed batch, and how long would I boil it to try to rescue the fondant?

Thanks for this. My first attempt didn't turn out too well. The resulting fondant was a goo-like substance which was really hard to cut. I had used a digital probe type thermometer and suspected this might have had a negative bearing on things. Second time out I used a proper jam/candy thermometer and there was a huge difference with the finished product. As a test I used both thermometers at intervals along the way and there was up to 15 degrees of a difference in temperature between the two thermometers when inserted. I stuck with the candy thermometer and glad I did! The resultant fondant was much better, very similar to yours. Thanks again!!

How long does the fondant keep before going bad???

Will this fondant stay moist and pliable or does it set up? All the recipes I've used end up solid as stone. Also, there are different amounts of acid in vinegars. I belive I remember hearing or reading it is the acid that is important. What one do you use?

If it is too hard you can re-add water and heat it up and just don't boil it down as much next time.

Do I mix while it's boiling at 235f or leave it alone for the 15 mins

Ours came out gritty sand like consistency, is there anything we can do to recover this batch? Other batches we've tried were too sticky.

Cynthia Gerber sorry just saw this. As long as you have the ratios correct it really comes down to temperature. It’s critical

Lawrence Heafner it has something g to do with mixing the glucose and sucrose. As you cook it at 235 a convention happens and you get a certain percentage of glucose to sucrose. That’s about as far as my science goes. Mixing it as it cools held to ensure the two are evenly distributed. I imagine you could use a wooden spoon or even a powered eggs beater. Let me know how you do.

In this process sakoros changes to glucose and fruktos so will be too much better for bees.
