This recipe goes with Chocolate-Covered Cherries Ingredients:
5 cups sugar |
1 1/2 cups water |
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar |
Directions:
1. Combine sugar and water in a 3-quart saucepan; cook over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Continue to cook over medium heat, stirring until mixture comes to a boil. Stir in cream of tartar.
2. Cover and cook 2 to 3 minutes to wash down sugar crystals from sides of pan. Uncover and continue to cook until mixture reaches soft ball stage (234°).
3. Remove from heat; pour mixture out onto a marble slab that has been sprinkled with cold water. (Do not scrape pan.) Cool to lukewarm (110°).
4. Using a wide metal spatula, scrape sides into center mass until opaque and creamy.
5. Knead fondant, with buttered hands, until creamy enough to form a firm ball. Place in a small bowl. Cover tightly, and refrigerate at least 24 hours before using.
