The Game Candy Land Has A Gumdrop Pass And Gumdrop Mountain Observed on February 15th, National Gumdrop Day recognizes a favorite candy of many; the gumdrop! Gumdrops are a tasty, colorful, chewy candy that is made with gelatin and then coated with sugar. They come in a variety of flavors and can either be fruity or spicy. These little candy treats make terrific embellishments for decorating gingerbread houses and other baked goods. Credit for the modern gumdrop invention goes to chemist and candy manufacturer Percy S. Truesdell. According to articles after his death in 1948, Truesdell took the once hard, poorly flavored glob of sugar and turned it into the smooth, chewy delight we enjoy today. While at the University of Ohio, the chemist altered the consistency of the of the candy by experimenting with the amount of starch used. He later worked for the Snyder-Chafee Company until 1915. In 1916, Truesdell founded and incorporated the P.S. Truesdell Candy Manufacturing Company. At his death, he became known as the Gumdrop King. Candy became widely available only 130 years ago. Until then, people would make their own fudge or caramel at home. Candy accounts for only 6% of the added sugar in the American diet. Soft drinks and juice account for 46%. The classic board game, Candy Land, features both a Gumdrop Pass and a Gumdrop Mountain. About 65 percent of American candy brands have been around for more than 50 years. Gumdrops, a fruit or spice flavored sugar coated gelatin candy, usually conical in shape. Other shapes and flavors; Orange slices, Licorice Babies, and Spearmint Leaves. The most popular flavors are cherry, grape, orange, lemon, and spice flavors like clove, cinnamon, mint, and anise(licorice) The NASA Apollo Command modules were nicknamed “Gumdrops” because of it’s conical shape. Gumdrops have been popular for many years in decorating gingerbread houses. Branch’s Candy holds the world record for largest gumdrop which weighted in a little larger than 10 lbs. If you had eaten it you would have consumed 15,127 calories. Sources: National Day Calendar Mobile-Cuisine Joy of Kosher Foodimentary.

Candy Making Made Easy (Because It Is)
05_597345 ch01.qxd 7/29/05 7:08 PM Page 9 Chapter 1 Candy Making Made Easy (Because It Is) Recipes in In This Chapter This Chapter ᮣ Gearing up to make candy ᮣ Dream Dates ᮣ Identifying some great confections ᮣ Checking out special uses for your candy-making skills ne point I stress throughout this book is that candy making is pretty Oeasy. After you learn a few basics and prepare yourself and your envi- ronment according to my simple guidelines, all you have to do is follow a few procedures. I hate to say this, but if I can make candy, you can make candy. When I train new staff members in my candy shop, I observe that, at first, they’re hesitant and overly careful about handling the product, as if it were very fragile. I assure them that they will not hurt the candy by being aggres- sive. I don’t want them to be afraid of the candy, and you shouldn’t be afraid, either. Most products you make are quite tolerant, and you can stir them hard, slap them, or just generally be rough with them. Don’t be afraid to get your hands a little messy, and don’t worry about making a bit of a mess. Have fun, because you’re in charge. To make a point, when someone observes that I have a spot of chocolate on my face, I dab even more on and ask, “Where, here?” Then I touch another spot withCOPYRIGHTED a big dab and ask, “Or was it here?” MATERIAL Before I finish, I have chocolate all over my face, but the new person is relaxed, confident that I am crazy and not worried about making a mess.

Candy Temperature Chart Having a Good Thermometer Is Important When You’Re in the Candy-Making Business
Candy Temperature Chart Having a good thermometer is important when you’re in the candy-making business. A perfect batch of caramel depends on reaching a desirable tem- perature before removing from the heat. The faster and more accurate your thermometer, the better the candy. Makes sense, right? The good news is, you don’t have to go out and buy a fancy candy thermometer if you’ve already got the Super-Fast, Splash-Proof Thermapen from ThermoWorks in your bag of kitchen tricks. Cold Water Test: As a sugar syrup is cooked, water boils away, the sugar concentration increases and the temperature rises. The highest temperature that the sugar syrup reaches tells you what the syrup will be like when it cools. In fact, that’s how each of the temperature stages discussed below is named. Bind agent for fruit pastes Thread A spoonful of sugar drizzled over a plate forms a fine, thin thread. This 230-235F stage makes a syrup, not a candy (106-112C) Fudge, Fondant, Creams, Penuche, Maple, etc. When a small amount of sugar syrup is dropped into very cold water 235-240F Softball and forms a ball that does not hold its shape when pressed with your (112-116C) fingers. Caramels and Divinity When a very small amount of sugar syrup is dropped into very cold 245-250F Firmball water and forms a ball that holds its shape but is still very sticky when (118-120C) pressed with your fingers. Taffy and Marshmallows When a small amount of sugar syrup is dropped into very cold water 250-265F Hardball and forms a ball that holds its shape but is pliable.
