Candy Cap Sugar
Lactarius rubidus
The mysterious maple flavor of the rare candy cap mushroom haunts the taste buds of all who have tasted it. This sugar infused with candy caps also has a single mushroom hiding in the jar so you can see just what they look like. It is one of the ultimate finishing touches for crème brulee(see Butternut Squash and Candy Cap Crème Brulee, page 240 The Wild Table). Use for many desserts or as the sweetener for hot toddies. A little sprinkle will make something as simple as oatmeal and French toast utterly fabulous. |
