Ruby Tuesday - Candy Thermometer

Happy Ruby Tuesday!



This is my candy thermometer. Prior to purchasing this, I used the ball method. You know, where you drop the hot candy mixture into water and decide if it's "soft ball" or "hard ball?" Using the thermometer, it's infinitely easier.

I should probably not confess this, but when I first saw the caption and the picture, I thought, "that doesn't look like candy." Took me a minute even after reading further to wake up to what a candy thermometer means. I know that candy in the shape of a thermometer would be odd, but there ARE lots of odd things out there. And now I leave blushing at my own foolishness confessed.

Great idea. Red is so much fun to find, it can be anywhere or everywhere!

Smart purchase, I think. As you say, a candy thermometer is so much easier than the ball method. ;-)

I think I like the ball method better, because after you decide "soft" or "hard", you get to eat the experiment. :D

What a great choice and certainly better than the ball method! Too many burnt fingers.

Raven, you've given me my first laugh of the day!

Tink, well yes, there is that - eating the "ball." :D

I thought candy just appeared on store shelves. You mean I could learn to make candy!?

Ohhh dangerous idea ;)

Well now, that's a clever Ruby Tuesday entry. Very original. (I used to have one of those, but I haven't seen it in years.)
