Can I rescue this batch?


(Chattanooga, TN)

Well, I followed this recipe to the teeth, except that I was out of lemon or lime juice, so I used orange juice instead. I cooked the concoction for exactly 25 minutes, then took it off the heat. I set the timer for the 15 minutes the recipe said for letting it cool. When I came back, my mixture was hard as a rock! I reheated it, breaking the chunks as I went with a spoon. I also added a little more water to it, hoping it would prevent the mixture from solidifying again. Which it did; I checked it this morning and it is soft, but it's too soft now, and it's sticky. Can I save this batch somehow, or should I try again?

Not salvageable, but edible!

It's probably not salvageable as leg-sugaring solution -- sugar syrups are pretty fincky. On the other hand, what you now have is a large quantity of tasty orange-flavored soft-ball-stage candy :-) I recommend coating bits in chocolate and refrigerating.

Use Lemon Juice
by: Anonymous

Lemon juice has a different acidity. When making these things you need to follow the recipe. Just go to the store and buy lemons or lemon juice next time.

And for the batches that don't work, it's biodegradable, so you can just throw it outside.

Did it end up working?
I wanted to know because I don't have any lemon or lime juice.

I don't have any lemon or lime juice so I want to know if orange juice is a good subsitute.

Why is everyone trying to save a batch???
by: Anonymous

It is just sugar and lemon juice. It can't be more than a dollar to make this. Throw it out and start over.
