Fig Glaces

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Dissolve the sugar and glucose in water.

  2. Cook the mixture to 320°F (160°C).

  3. Pour the cooked mixture onto a slab.

  4. When the mixture is cool enough to handle, place it in front of your table furnace.

  5. Pull the mixture as you would for buttercups, using a caramel marker instead of a buttercup cutter.

  6. Cut the pieces to the length of two buttercups.
