As someone who loves to experiment in the kitchen, I am always on the lookout for unique and interesting recipes to try out. While browsing through some food blogs recently, I came across a recipe for ham-flavored candies, and I have to admit that I was intrigued.

At first glance, it might seem a little strange to make candy that tastes like ham. But when you think about it, there are plenty of other savory flavors that we enjoy in candy form, such as sour patch kids and salted caramel. So why not ham?

Here is the recipe I found, along with my own tips for making the most of these unusual treats:

Ingredients:
– 1 cup sugar
– 1/4 cup water
– 1/4 cup corn syrup
– 1/4 cup ham bouillon
– 1/8 tsp liquid smoke
– Red food coloring (optional)
– Powdered sugar

Instructions:

1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup. Stir over medium heat until the sugar has dissolved.

2. Add the ham bouillon and liquid smoke to the mixture. Continue stirring over medium heat until the mixture reaches 300°F (149°C) on a candy thermometer. This will take about 15-20 minutes.

3. If you want your candies to have a pink tint, add a few drops of red food coloring at this point and stir until the color is even.

4. Remove the saucepan from heat and let the mixture cool for a minute or two.

5. Using a spoon or a candy dropper, drop small amounts of the mixture onto a sheet of parchment paper. Work quickly, as the mixture will harden as it cools.

6. Let the candies cool and harden completely. Once they have set, toss them in powdered sugar to prevent them from sticking to each other.

Tips:

– Be careful when working with hot sugar, as it can cause serious burns. Keep a bowl of cold water nearby in case of any accidents.
– If you don’t have a candy thermometer, you can test the mixture by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a hard ball, it’s ready.
– The ham bouillon gives these candies their unique flavor. You can experiment with different brands and types of ham bouillon to find the one that you like best.
– Powdered sugar not only prevents the candies from sticking together, but it also gives them a nice, powdery texture.
– These candies make a great conversation starter at parties or as a gift for foodie friends. However, they are definitely an acquired taste, so be prepared for some mixed reactions!

Overall, I think that these ham-flavored candies are a fun and creative recipe to try out. They might not be everyone’s cup of tea, but they are certainly a unique treat for those who are willing to be adventurous in the kitchen. So go ahead and give them a try, and see what kind of reactions you get from your friends and family!
