Yeah I'd be interested to see if you can find it! Otherwise this would also work with unsweetened cranberry juice or something similar!

Correct! If you're not too big into sweet, you can reduce the sugar somewhat. It's the acid that makes the cream set, not so much the sugar. Check out other lemon posset recipes for the standard versions!

Texture is sort of like a spread like Nutella, but cool. The fat from the cream causes the flavour to linger too

Its super hard to describe, but thinking about it, it's like insanely sour orange, with layers of passionfruit and pineapple..not the same bitterness has lemon or grapefruit. It's insanely sour but also has the flavours sweet (but not the taste)

I'm still yet to actually try making it! It's on my list! I need to try it with a black bread for a nice dark kvass

🍽️🍜 Kvassamisu! It's like a tiramisu (but really, really different), but with Kvass, and Rīga Black Balzams. More alterations with Biezpiens give this a really Latvian twist! It's seriously delicious, and well worth a go! #cook #cooksky #food #foodsky

🍜🍽️Why is Latvia interesting? because the people and country are like mushrooms. little blooms of information on the surface & a lot below, just like a mushroom, w/ its network of mycelium below the surface. information comes when it wants, or when the conditions are right. #food #foodsky #cooking

🍽️🍜🇱🇻LATVIACORE PIZZA🇱🇻 this is kvass pica W/ ACTUAL POTATO & proper kvass. I highly encourage patience with dough. I was trying to finish for lunch, and slept in so the dough was a little on the chewy side. Latvian food flavours on a pizza is a big win, in my opinion! #food #foodsky #cooking #cooksky

Being called a psychopath is a great way to make people change their minds. I'll have you know, I've been actively working to reduce my meat consumption, but that is no thanks to people like you. You just make it worse. Anyway, blocked.

CasterAzucar @casterazucar.bsky.social · Aug 6

Thanks for the information. Just so you're aware, the wild boar in this video was wild, not farmed, and was done so within the strict regulatory requirements in this area. I agree, factory farming is a scourge.

Yeah I'd like to give that a go, to see if I can get the popping effect!

I did about 3 tablespoons of Aperol Pearls, and topped it with wine. The heating process cooks off some of the alcohol, so I skipped the sparkling water and ice 🤣 top with orange slice, enjoy!

Once the agar/bitterol mixture got to around 50°C, I started dropping the mixture into the oil, drop by drop, until the mixture was used up. They'll form pearls in the bottom. Strained them through a sieve, then I rinsed them in a red wine vinegar, water and sugar solution.

The ratio of 2.4g (ish) to 100ml - this is steep, but accounts for the alcohol which made things a little difficult. And heated while whisking to a simmer to dissolve the agar. Bottle into a sauce bottle. Get a tall glass of refrigerated 4°C grapeseed oil.

🍜🍽️ This is what I'll be drinking this summer: The Bitterol Pearl Spritz! What is it? Bitterol (Aperol) Pearls made from agar agar and Aperol, with sparkling wine! #foodsky #food #drinks #cocktails
