Grape Macarons

Macarons — French is the sweetness of the egg whites, ground almonds and powdered sugar with cream. I do not know how much time I was preparing for this recipe, as the rules of cooking recipes and re-read, but one caveat I have not learned, Macarons can not cook in the gas oven and so now you see my failure. The ideal is to be beautiful Macarons «skirt» and no cracks on the surface. The recipe I wrote in detail to have had no problems, but remember that gas ovens Macarons can not be done, and in any case do not open the oven during baking. I was forced to do it because my oven disconnected very bad and I had to relight it. As a result, I received a very tasty pechenyushki, but not on such kind of what I wanted.

about 12 cookies:

Note

1. First, prepare the grape confit. To this my grapes and ground in a blender. We shift puree in a pan, add a pinch of lavender. Pectin is mixed with sugar, if using gelatin, soak it in cold boiled water. Stir over medium heat grape puree, bring to a boil and add sugar. Cook for 2 — 3 minutes, and if you use gelatin, add it and mix thoroughly.

To clear the almonds, it is necessary to pour boiling water, leave for 10 minutes, rinse under cold water and then pour boiling water. After 10 minutes, remove one nut to crack and clean everyone nuts will literally jump out of the skins. The crude peeled almonds can not be comminuted, it must first be dried in an oven at 100 degrees or decompose on the towel at room temperature and dry to give yourself 24 — 48 hours. When the almond is dry, it should grind in a coffee grinder. Mole for 3 seconds, stop and re-mole. This is to ensure that the blade grinder is not warmed up and almond oil is not allocated, which will turn into one big lump. Also, you can grind the almonds in a meat grinder, conceding twice. Store the almond flour should be in a sealed glass jar or plastic bag, tightly tied. Mix the almond flour and icing sugar, crush again in a coffee grinder and sift 2 — 3 times.

2. If the humidity is high, the mixture must be dried in the oven for 5 minutes at 150 degrees, and sift again to the dough was not too wet. Separate the egg whites aged whites from the yolks and add them in a jar. Leave them for a day at room temperature, then stored in refrigerator up to 40 days.

5. We reserve cup 30 — 60 minutes to stand at room temperature. At this time, on the surface of the dough forms a very thin layer, resembling a crisp. When baking, it becomes crunchy and moisture, which is under it raises this layer. Bottom image Beautiful «skirt» — «la collerette». Lightly touch the surface of the cookie, if nothing sticks to your fingers, and you feel the crust — it can be baked. If the crust is not formed even after 1 hour, most of all, your room is too humid. In this case, heat the oven to 80 degrees and 5 minutes to dry Macarons. Then remove cookies already appeared crust, increase the temperature, let the oven to warm up a bit and continue to bake cookies. We send cookies in a preheated 150 degree oven for 13 — 15 minutes.
