Swedish baking often makes use of pearl sugar. Unfortunately, I am in Canada and the price for it is crazy. Someone found a way to make it at home, I have tried it and it works pretty well. Kudo to the original poster of this trick
You need
- 1tbsp water
- 3/4cup sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan add the water and sugar
- Turn the heat to low and stir with a wooden spoon. You don’t want too tiny bits or too big
If the sugar doesn’t clump, add 1/2 tsp of water. - Keep the heat on low and let the small piece of sugar “dry” slowly in the pan. Stir every now and then. This process will take 20 to 30 minutes.
- Put the pearl sugar on parchment paper and let them cool completely ( a few hours ). They will harden as they dry entirely
- Transfer to an airtight container
