Homemade Lemon Gumdrops by yoyomax12

These stay nice and soft and moist for days after making them and they do not get super sticky. Once you roll them in sugar they will stay non-sticky.

You can add any kind of extract and colour to these.
I may have overheated my sugar/corn syrup as it had yellowed (I will have to test my candy thermometer) and this would influence the final colour of the candy. Mine turned out kind of orange-y when I added the yellow.

The fruit pectin is what makes them gel and solidify (same stuff you use to make jam and jelly). I am not aware of any substitutes.

You could probably use a thick syrup or honey in place of the corn syrup but I've never tried it, so I can't tell you if the results will be good or not.
Some stores may sell this as "liquid glucose"

You do need a candy thermometer for this. You can determine if you have reached the "soft crack" stage by dropping a small amount of the boiling liquid into some ice water. There are photos and resources online that may help you understand this if you google "candy making stages"
Like this one:
http://candy.about.com/od/candybasics...

For those of you that will say "this has a lot of sugar in it", yes this does, this is candy.
I am not recommending that you eat this for dinner for a week. It has the same amount of sugar as the gumdrops you would buy at a store.

I'm sure you could try to put these in silicone molds to form shapes (if you don't like the cube shape), the trick would be finding small enough ones. These is very sweet and needs to be in small pieces.

Recipe:

1 cup sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup water
1 package (1 3/4 oz) powdered fruit pectin (I used 4.5 tablespoons).
1/2 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons of flavoured extract (lemon, orange, cherry, peppermint etc)
1 teaspoon of citrus peel (for orange or lemon gumdrops)
Food colour (optional)
Additional granulated sugar for rolling gumdrops in after completion.

Line a 9x5" loaf pan with aluminum foil and grease the foil with butter or cooking spray.
In a large saucepan combine the corn syrup and 1 cup sugar and heat mixture on med-high, stirring constantly until it boils.
'
**note *** The original recipe calls for spraying the saucepan with cooking spray prior to adding the ingredients, it did this, but I found that it didn't make much of a difference in clean up. The sugar stuck to the sides anyway

Once boiling stir only occasionally.
Continue to boil about 9 minutes until the mixture reaches 280F (soft crack stage).
Once it has reached that temperature, take it off the heat.

While the sugar/ corn syrup is boiling you can prepare the following:
In a medium saucepan combine the water, pectin and baking soda (it will foam up a bit). Cook and stir over high heat until mixture boils (about 2 minutes, it won't take long).
I say cook it for two minutes in the video, but it takes two minutes to come to a boil, once it is at a boil, turn the heat off.

Carefully pour the corn syrup mixture in a thin stream into the pectin mixture, stirring constantly. Cook and stir one minute longer over medium high heat.

Remove from heat, add food colour, extract and citrus peel (if using it) and stir.
Pour into prepared loaf pan and let stand until firm.
Cut into squares and roll in additional sugar if desired.
I kept these in a container at room temperature.

Infrared ray wellbeing roaster, ZAIGLE

As nonpolluting light energy, infrared rays are the rays delivering the heat of all types of light energy including the solar heat. Depending on wavelength range, infrared rays are divided into far, medium, and short infrared rays, but their efficiencies are all great

(Other than conduction and radiation, the infrared rays deliver the heat of light).

In case of short infrared rays developed recently, the heat delivery efficiency and treatment function are especially more excellent than far and medium infrared rays.

Meat
 Like boiled meat with crispy outside but moist inside, the meat does not dry, even left a long time. No smell lingers, and no oil splashes.

Seafood
Even fish (sea food) is not turned over, and the inside of fish is cooked well with drying. You can eat even the shells of shrimps.

Vegetable
Although vegetables are put a long time on the pan, they are cooked well without drying. You can eat cooked Kimchi without burning.

Other usage
It is also good to warm up food like bread for breakfast.

How To Make Own Terrarium by Good Earth Garden Centre

The Good Earth's own plant whisperer Steve teaches us how to make a terrarium, step by step!

wikipedia: A terrarium is a type of miniature ecosystem of plants. Terrariums are usually sealable glass containers that can be opened for maintenance and to access the plants inside. However, this is not essential, terrariums can also be made using other transparent materials and some are open to the atmosphere rather than being sealed. Terrariums are often kept as decorative or ornamental items in the same way as aquariums.

Closed terrariums create a unique environment for plant growth, the transparent walls allow for both heat and light to enter the terrarium. The sealed container combined with the heat entering the terrarium allows for the creation of a small scale water cycle. This happens because moisture from both the soil and plants evaporates in the elevated temperatures inside the terrarium. This water vapour then condenses on the walls of the container, and eventually falls back to the plants and soil below. This contributes to creating an ideal environment for growing plants due to the constant supply of water, thereby preventing the plants from becoming over dry. In addition to this, the light that passes through the transparent material of the terrarium allows for the plants within to photosynthesise, an important aspect of plant growth.

Jamie's Awesome Roast Turkey by Jamie Oliver

Jamie Oliver shows you the best way to prepare and roast a turkey. With a delicious flavoured butter, top stuffing tips, and safe cooking times & tempretures, this easy step-by-step guide will help you feel confident this Christmas Day.

How do you like to prepare your roast turkey? Any great tips to share? Get involved and leave a message in the comment box below -- we'd love to hear from you!

Ingredients:

• 6.5-8 kg higher-welfare turkey
• flavoured butter
• 2-4 clementines
• a few sprigs of fresh herbs
• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary
• stuffing
• 2-3 carrots
• 3 onions, peeled
• 2 sticks celery

Take your turkey out of the fridge a few hours before you are ready to put it in the oven so it has time to come up to room temperature. That flavoured butter will already be under the skin so you'll only need a few tweaks to finish it off. Halve the clementines and pop them in the cavity with a few more sprigs of fresh herbs like rosemary, bay and thyme. The fruit will steam and flavour the birds in a really lovely way. Take the fresh rosemary, pull off the leaves at the bottom then spear that through the loose skin around the cavity to hold it together and keep it from shrinking back as the turkey cooks.

Open up the neck cavity and pack as much stuffing as possible in there, then carefully pull the skin back over the cavity, tuck it under the bird and pop it in the roasting tray. If you've already made your gravy like I've done, you won't need a vegetable trivet, if not, do that now by roughly chopping the carrots, onions and celery sticks. Preheat your oven to full whack, get the turkey in the roasting tray and cover with foil. As soon as it goes in the oven, immediately turn the heat down to 180ºC/350ºF/gas 4. 

As a rough guide, you want to cook the turkey for about 35 to 40 minutes per kilogram, so a 7kg turkey will want about 4 to 4½ hours in the oven. But there are so many variables such as the sort of oven you have and the quality of your bird. Check on your turkey every 30 minutes or so and keep it from drying out by basting it with the lovely juices from the bottom of the pan. After 3½ hours, remove the foil so the skin gets golden and crispy. If you are at all worried just stick a meat thermometer in the thickest part of the breast. When the internal temperature has reached 65ºC for a good quality bird, and about 82ºC for a cheaper bird, it's ready to come out. 

Carefully put a metal skewer in the cavity and use it to lift the bird and angle it over the roasting tray so all of the juices from the cavity run out. Move the turkey to a platter then cover it with a double layer of tinfoil and 2 tea towels to keep it warm while it rests for at least 30 minutes.

In this 23 minute video, you will see professional aquascaper, and founder of The Green machine- James Findley creating a planted aquarium from scratch. We'll take you step by step through the process so you can understand the technical and artistic decisions James makes at each stage.

James is using one of the most popular sized aquariums on the market- a 60 cm wide, by 30 deep, by 36 cm high, 64.8 litre ADA Cube Garden.

ADA Cube Gardens are made from low-iron, higher clarity glass, which results in a brighter, more vibrant view of your planted tank.

James is well known for creating Supertanks such as Nature's Chaos, Arizona, and Reciprocity, so it is interesting to see him planting a more average sized home aquarium.

Gutter Garden Creative Ideas by Lowe's Home Improvement.

Here's a fun vertical gardening idea. Learn how to make a rain gutter garden on your yard fence. For full project details, Green up a plain fence while keeping pests out of your garden produce. Turn pieces of gutter into containers for herbs and leafy vegetables. click here: http://low.es/1i8p6p6





















Step 1
From 1 x 4 pressure-treated lumber, cut two pieces 62 inches long and four pieces 34 inches long.

Step 2
Drive pocket-hole screws
On a flat work surface, lay out the two horizontal frame pieces and four vertical pieces upside down as shown on the Gutter Garden Frame Project Diagram. Follow the instructions that came with your pocket-hole drilling jig to drill two holes at each joint. Apply Liquid Nails adhesive and screw the frame together.

Step 3
 Drill drain holes
Use a miter saw or handsaw to cut the plastic gutters into four 5-foot lengths. Use sandpaper to clean up the cut ends and attach caps to both ends of each piece. Drill 1/4-inch drain holes near the left end of two sections and near the right end of the other two.

Step 4
On the back side of the frame at the top, use a square and pencil to mark lines 1-3/4 inches and 17-3/4 inches from both ends (centered above the vertical pieces). Hold a 1-inch corner bracket with the corner even with the top of the frame and mark the screw hole location where it crosses the lines. Then drill 3/32-inch pilot holes for the brackets.

Step 5
Measure the gutter bracket locations
Draw centered lines the length of the two center boards and extend the lines over the two horizontal boards at each joint. Measuring down the left line from the top edge of the frame, mark the line at 2-1/4 inches, 13-1/4 inches, 24-1/2 inches, and 35-1/4 inches. On the right side, mark the line at 2 inches, 13-1/2 inches, 24-1/4 inches, and 35-1/2 inches. This allows the gutters to tilt slightly and drain excess water.

Step 6
 Screw gutter brackets to the frame
Align the gutter bracket top edge with one of the marks on a centered line and mark the mounting screw location. Drill a 9/64-inch pilot hole and use rust-resistant screws to fasten the bracket to the frame. Repeat for the remaining brackets. Avoid overtightening the brackets.

Step 7
Rest a gutter section with the drain holes on the left end loosely on the top brackets and inset 1 inch from the left or right edge of the frame. Tilt and press it into the upper brackets until it pops in place. Then install a gutter with the holes on the right in the brackets below that. Alternate left and right for the remaining two gutters.

Step 8
 Add the mounting brackets
Screw the mounting brackets to the back using the pilot holes drilled in Step 4. Hold the frame against the top crossbeam of the fence where you'll install it and screw the corner brackets to the crossbeam.

Step 9
 Add soil and plants to the gutters
Add a light planting mix to the gutters, filling them to 3/4 inch from the top. Then add the plants or seeds of your choice.

How to Use a Pressure Cooker by David Venable

Probably the number one reason that people don't pressure cook is because they're afraid of pressure cookers. But today's electric, digital pressure cookers, are nothing like the pressure cookers that our moms and grandmothers used. The new digital electric models are super safe. Loaded with safety back-ups, they're incredibly easy to clean and they don't make a mess in your kitchen. So, how does a pressure cooker work? It's really quite simple. It allows steam to build up inside the pressure cooker, and cook the food more quickly. It also takes all the spices and all the ingredients you put inside and force it into the food, so every single bite is not only fork tender, but also incredibly flavorful. Now today, we're going to be making my pressure cooker beef and rice. And this recipe can be found under David's Recipes on QVC.com.

What we're first going to do is set the browning feature. What's important to know about a pressure cooker is that this works and behaves just like a skillet before it turns into a pressure cooker. I can actually brown the stewing beef. One of the nice things about using a pressure cooker is that you can use a lesser cut of meat. Now my recipe calls for stewing beef and if you prepare this traditionally, it can be really tough and stringy, but when you cook it under pressure, it becomes fork tender and really flavorful.

While it's important to add some water to a pressure cooker, you don't have to add a lot of water because remember that the foods that you're cooking will release some of their own natural juices. But it is always a good idea to add liquid like a zesty tomato juice. If your recipe calls for vegetables in the pressure cooker, remember that vegetables do not need to cook very long and some don't belong in the pressure cooker at all. Softer vegetables like asparagus and green beans should never go in the pressure cooker because they'll only turn to mush. The rest of your vegetables should only be cooked a few minutes. Probably no more than fifteen minutes maximum. Now if you don't have fresh vegetables on hand, you can use frozen.

It's important to remember if you're using the frozen, you need to allow a little extra cooking time and add a little less liquid because those frozen vegetables will give off more water. Let's talk more about safety. These digital, electric pressure cookers have many back-up safety features. In fact, there's no way to open this lid until I release the pressure. That process is very easily done, just by flipping one switch. The next step is to cook the rice. And rice will cook incredibly fast in the pressure cooker and we're going to use left-over liquids to make sure that it cooks beautifully and that it absorbs all that flavor. Another good idea, is to add a little cooking oil. This also will help keep that starch down and make sure that the rice doesn't foam. The best thing to remember while cooking rice is the ratio, one cup of rice to one and a quarter cup of water.

It's also important to remember that when you are finished with the cooking cycles, let the pressure cooker release naturally so you don't get any foaming in the valves and it all comes out beautifully and clean. So, with a little pre-planning and prep work, you'll be safely pressure cooking in no time. And once you learn these simple tricks, your food will come out quickly and the flavor will be fantastic.
