Yum! My arm is still sore from stirring for 30 minutes :) but I have to say it was worth it. I kept a few pieces plain, a few chocolate only, and the rest as the recipes directs with nuts. My fave? Chocolate and nuts! My candy really didn't seem like it was coming together until the candy thermometer hit about 265-270. Then is started to get a light golden color and the consistency started changing quite a bit. I thought it was starting to separate at about 285 but instead of vigorous stirring I used more of a folding motion and that brought it back together nicely. Made in honor of St Georges Day. http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=332522

I enjoy cooking and have done so for the past 30 years. I worked in several food service areas before moving on to a non-cooking job. Cooking has become a hobby of mine and one I enjoy very much. I enjoy creating new recipes. I have several very good recipes from my grandmother, who by the way has taught me everythig I know about cooking. I have many recipes that I have collected over the years. I will try to post as many of them as I can over the course of time. Please view them.
