To clarify, I'm looking to achieve the hard candy coating you find on Jordan Almonds or on the candied fennel seeds you find as part of <em>mukhwas</em> at Indian restaurants. The only advice I've found is in <a href="http://books.google.com/books?id=A34EAAAAYAAJ&pg=PA199&lpg=PA199&dq=make+dragees&source=web&ots=X5ZPfPnzHr&sig=jKqALn631XwEZt0OP0GGKwOlJmY&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=10&ct=result#PPA199,M1">this book from 1800</a> - surely someone has made these since then! tag:ask.metafilter.com,2008:site.96338 Fri, 11 Jul 2008 10:39:08 -0800 candy dragees food herbs judith
