Today’s answer…Berry jam! 😊

Often jam is made with pectin, a thickening substance made from fruit, specifically coming from its cell walls. You can make your own from apple peels and citrus membranes, but USUALLY one would buy it powdered.😊 

Because we are in this rabbit hole, lets finish it; There are two types of pectin: high methoxyl and low methoxy. High methoxyl needs acid and sugar to form a gel, so if you make a jam with HMP, it will be higher in sugar. Low methoxyl is good for low sugar recipes, and uses calcium instead of sugar to form its gel. There are more pectin details, but let’s stop while we can still get out of the rabbit hole!

Anyway, if you don’t mind a less gel-like jam, then making it without pectin does the trick just fine πŸ‘ŒπŸ‘ŒπŸ‘©β€πŸ³

Good luck today everybody! πŸ«΅πŸ§‘β€πŸ³πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ

If you know what is happening here, then riddle me this - what is the thing from plant cell walls that is often used?

I'm looking forward to your thoughts and to sharing the recipe tonight πŸ₯³πŸ˜Š Until then, sticky out.

Today’s answer - Apple…..crisp 😊

So this is an apple crisp…to my understanding anyway! So here’s what I consider the truth - a crumble has a streusel topping (flour, butter and sugar); a crisp is a crumble with oats; and a cobbler has sweet pie dough in patches on top.Β What do you think? πŸ€”πŸ«΅

Also, a name is just a name and if it’s delicious and has an apple filling, let’s just agree to settle our differences with a side of ice cream!😊😊😊

Today was a good one for providing your thoughts! Thanks for participating u/Bhamrentalhelp, u/dalpaengi18, u/Rough_Back_1607, u/TheDarbiter, u/clickerscoopah, u/mclarkmadison, /u/need_more_coffee_plz, u/lizlemon921 and particularly for the early start u/mackass17!.

Today’s answer - Chia seed pudding! 😊

So classic pudding requires heating, tempering, thickening and flavouring steps with cream, egg yolk, cornstarch and flavouring. Don’t get me wrong, it is a delicious result and a soothing process, BUT for something much quicker, this treat does the trick. πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘Œ

Thanks for the inspiration last week u/lizlemon921 ! And to u/Bhamrentalhelp, u/robotcoup and Β /u/need_more_coffee_plz for your answers!

Also I do have to say swollen chias do not sound like a good thing, but it is one of my favourite sticky notes to write recently. 🀣😊😊

Anyway, I’m looking forward to more sweet days this week. Until tomorrow! Sticky out.

Good luck again today πŸ§‘β€πŸ³πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ!! The only thing that separates today’s recipe is that it appears to be oilier πŸ€”πŸ€”

Last one for this week’s bowl theme! It was fun for me, but I realize that GTM will be more intriguing with different ingredients. Anyway, looking forward to your thoughts for today πŸ₯³πŸ₯³. I again won’t be around during the day, but will check back in tonight with the recipe. 😊😊

Happy Sunday everyone and Happy Mother’s Day! Sticky out.

Today's answer - sourdough-ish bread bowls! (tahini free 🀦) 😊

Today's greatest challenge was guessing the ingredients! I love the possibilities that you came up with. Excellent pivot u/what_the_duck_chuck, and very nice explanation of the process u/Rosemarried and to u/robotcoup and u/Rough_back_1607 for the tahini breads that make us all want to get baking!

The process I was looking for is fermentation. In sourdough starter, there are both yeast and bacteria. The lactic acid bacteria produce lactic acid which gives the unique sour flavour to the bread. In these sourdough-ish bowls, I don't let the bread proof/ferment for a long time as in true sourdough, but the starter that I've been keeping alive for months and months already packs a flavour punch! πŸ’ͺπŸ’ͺ🦠

Anyway, thanks for participating everyone, and I look forward more of it tomorrow 😊

I want to let you know that I am working on making a small website for the guess the mise game to make it a bit better - including the option to see the ingredients. I think that would have been nice today 🀦

Until tomorrow. Sticky out.

This is another mise with few ingredients, BUT I know you are going to come up with some great ideas.πŸ‘©β€πŸ³πŸ§™β€β™‚οΈ We are still sticking with the theme from the past few days if that helps.🧐

Also, if you know what this is, WHAT process is it that gives it the unique flavour?

Alright everybody, I am looking forward to your thoughts πŸ₯³πŸ₯³ Recipe to come tonight! Until then, sticky out.
