| Here is a fun fact about what cararmel is - Cooking a sugar syrup to the point where all the water has evaporated and the sugar begins to burn results in caramel. The sugar begins to colour when it reaches about 325 degrees Fahrenheit. Caramel can also be made by the dry method, where no water is added before cooking. This is a faster method as it eliminates the evaporating time but requires more attention to avoid burning. Caramel sauce is made with the addition of whipping cream and butter. ... Now this question arises - How many of us have lost a filling to caramel candy? No eating this pie won't cause that; it will actually make you want seconds! The flavor reminds you of Bayou Goo! ***** |

| A quick hot summer day treat made with pineapple. From the USDA here is a fun fact on HOW DO PINEAPPLES GROW?
Most fruits develop in 3 to 4 months, but pineapples take about 18 months to grow!
Pineapples are grown from the crowns or tops of other pineapples. Each crown is planted by hand. When the plants are one year old the flowering process begins. The flower bud is small and pink, and looks like a pinecone. As the bud grows it will become the fruit we know as a pineapple. Pineapples are harvested when they are ripe. Every pineapple that is harvested is ready to eat. To ensure they are picked at their peak of maturity for ripeness and flavor, the
sugar content of pineapple is tested in the field. Not yet rated |
