hi everyone
i tried to make arequipe this weekend from a colombian recipie book and somewhere it all went wrong and i now have a plastic container filled with solid brown sugar. not exactly what i was going for. any idea how i might fix this situation? could i remelt the sugar rock, add more milk and see if i could make it creamy? any suggestions?? i would love some help b/c if i don't find a way to fix this i either have a very sweet paperweight or its going in the bin!
cheers

Gator says on Feb 1, 2005, 07:15: The wife said.... 1. You possibly used too much sugar-not enough milk or a combination of both.. She said here is the receipt her mother used: 3 litros (quarts) milk, 2 lbs. sugar, pinch of salt "Bene, cum Latine nescias, nolo manus meas in te maculare" . 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

I prefer manjarblanco, but I wouldn't even try to make it myself. I don't have a paila de cobre and I lack the total commitment and patience the procedure takes.

Gomezman5 says on Feb 1, 2005, 09:36: Forget the stiring crap The stuff is tastier and smoother if you put the leche dule in the pot and let it boil for 2 hours or 30 minutes in the pressure cooker!!
