  6. add a pinch of salt
  7. pour into your moulds and refrigerate
  8. too easy!

 Dry Caramel Tips

  1. The important thing when making the caramel is not to stir it as it will crystallise and turn clumpy and grainy and there is no going back from crystallization, other than to start again.
  2. Heat sugar over low heat to start the sugar melting, tilting and swirling the pan to incorporate the dry sugar into the melted caramel until you have a fluid golden, amber  liquid.

Leaf gelatine

Leaf gelatine comes in different strengths: bronze, silver, gold or platinum. Each has a different strength or ‘bloom’ with bronze the weakest, and platinum the strongest.

Tips 

  • don’t let the gelatine leaves soak in the water for too long as this will diminish its setting properties (around 5 minutes is enough time).
  • make sure your liquid is not boiling when you add the gelatine as this will weaken the set.

Making praline is simply melting the sugar until it’s a golden to deep brown colour (depending on how you like your caramel) then pouring the caramel over nuts to cover and allow to cool. You can either blitz the praline in a food processor or pop the praline in a ziplock bag and gently tap with a rolling pin or other heavy object to the desired size.

Cooper

So, this one little green tree frog has been driving Cooper crazy for weeks. In the beginning the frog moved into a gutter on the roof and each night it would come down to the verandah for food, Cooper discovered the frogs ritual and can be found waiting for the frog each night.

Amazingly the frog seems to know Cooper is harmless, so it goes about his business. Cooper usually spends an hour or so nightly following the frog around the veranda.
