Vinegar = fail

by Kaleen
(Seattle)

I didn't have any lemon juice on hand, so I tried this recipe with vinegar and it evaporated more quickly than I think the lemon juice might have. The apartment smells like acrid burnt sugar and I have a pot of vinegar ribbon candy. For the record, it tastes like sushi-flavored caramel. Stick to the lemon--it's much nicer!

 Stinky.

I might have did something wrong, because I made it really small. Anyways I used white vinegar and used the microwave. It STUNK.

 Worked GREAT for me!

I used white distilled vinegar instead of lemon juice and it worked very well. The smell was not strong at all. I use a similar recipe to make taffy so I decided to taste this sugar paste after it was done and it was quite tasty. I had my kids and husband taste it too and they all thought it was good. Also, no one complained of any foul or strange smells.

 Vinegar worked for me. I
by: Anonymous

I didn't have lemon juice either. So I use the vinegar and for the first time I didn't burn it!! I have tried many times to perfect this wax without a candy thermometer, and I always cook it too long. I also only have black pans so seeing the color is hard. But I always use vinegar, it does stink, but after numerous tries I did it! And it worked fine.

 A big 'Thank you'
by: Michelle

LOL! Ew, that doesn't sound pleasant. But thanks so much for not only testing it out, but coming back and sharing your results! I've removed any mention of vinegar from the article. I do hope you'll give it another try with lemon juice!

Best,
Michelle
