And while the masks of the plague doctors were filled with herbs and incense to keep away the bad air, in some way they were a primitive form of filtering mask with eye protection. Combined with leather coats and gloves which keep bodily fluids away. Or not using the same hand to eat and wipe your bum. Not washing hands between patients was still a bad idea, though.

"essence of the cherry" -- this is where we get the term "preserves" from.

I have an idea behind "manure candy." When manure being turned into compost, it gets hot. Like, really hot: approximately 170ish degrees.

@CalebCalixFernandez 2 года назад

I'm guessing that Nostradamus didn't call for the seeds to be removed before cooking because the seeds will give the jelly a nice almond flavor. That's because all plants in the genus Prunus contain amygdalin in their seeds. That compound is responsible for the almond flavor.

@sclausenETC 2 года назад

@CalebCalixFernandez 2 года назад

@@sclausenETC that's terrifying! Amygdalin is a precursor of cyanide. When cooking with the seeds whole, there's not much of a risk because the hard shells don't allow too much amygdalin to seep through, but with the pits ground up, that's a different story.

@midnightvargas9835 2 года назад

I love the idea of Nostradamus having his own QVC show as well as the idea of Nostradamus flexing with his fancy cherry jelly.

@janesmith5194 Год назад

This was really cool because I grew up with sour cherry trees, and it's similar to how I make jelly! Especially in the beginning, before I had a specialized pot that would steam the cherries and drain the juice out as they boiled. Highly recommend that. You then boil the juice separately with sugar. Sour cherries are really nice for jelly because, as you said, most jellies are super sweet. You need the sugar to gell the juice, so you can't just leave it out. You can add in lemon juice, or combine sour and sweet fruits. Jelly is surprisingly accessible, definitely give making it a try!

@justjakki 2 года назад

The reason it had that "give" is not only because of how reduced it was, but also because the cherry bones were kept in during the heating process. This same effect occurs with citrus seeds! Also if you don't want to use gelatin for a jam, you can just toss apples in. The pectin makes for an excellent vegan substitute 😊

Back in Serbia we make homemade jam from sour cherries, apricots, plums… when my mum makes them they taste so delicious. I once gave my family’s apricot jam for a British friend to try and he also described it as eating ‘the essence of apricot’ and the recipe was simple. You just need patience and good fruit.

I have a cherry plum tree in my backyard so I made a whole variety of things with plums this year! One recipe for plum liqueur looked like it came from Russia or an Eastern European country, and it translated the pits as "bones" as well :) My favorite thing I made was actually a clafoutis (which my sister recommended to me)- the plums are small and look like cherries, and since I added a little brandy and almond extract, it tasted very, very close to cherries, too! Although, clafoutis is traditionally made with sour black cherries from the Limousin region of France, and apparently if it's made from a different fruit, it is called a flaugnarde? They say originally the kernels inside the pits were cooked with the clafoutis as well and imparted a marzipan taste!

Two suggestions: Before squeezing the cherries cover the bowl and your hands with a piece of disposable cloth like a well washed outgrown T-shirt. Heavy enough to stay in place. Second, after straining out the solids from the cooked juice further separate the pits and skins from some pulp and add the pulp back to make cherry jam.

@@HarrDarr Technically, its because marble has high thermal conductivity, combined with high density, so it heats up very slowly, so it'll usually be cooler than the surrounding room, as it will shed the cold it has absorbed during the night (or, in a freezer, as you do with confectionery slabs) very slowly, while also transferring heat away from whatever touches it (pastry, jam, your hands) very quickly.
