This is a pre-portioned Ruby Chocolate Kit prepared specially for you and includes all the ingredients you need to make Ruby Chocolate, either the classic pink (Ruby Red) or the purple (Amethyst).
Perform Ruby Alchemy
Unlike our other kits, this one will require you to get perform a bit of color alchemy. Don’t worry — it’s not hard, and the instructions will guide you step-by-step.
Just so you know what you’re getting into: you’ll dissolve the included “magic crystals” (citric acid, but don’t tell the wizards), pour that into your nibs, and watch the transformation begin. After the color-changing alchemy does its thing, you’ll simply dry the nibs in your oven.
After that, all you have to do is put everything your Melanger and the next day you have untempered Ruby chocolate ready to store or temper and mold up.
This kit includes all the materials you need for making a batch of untempered chocolate, already portioned out. You won't need to roast, winnow or even weigh anything. All you have to do is toss the supplied ingredients in your Melanger and in the next day or so you will have chocolate ready to temper or store (or other uses as you see fit).
What's Required:
A Melanger is 100% required to refine the ingredients to smooth modern chocolate. This is not optional.
What's Recommended
Basics: We assume you have basic cooking equipment and utensils and a basic home oven.
For Tempering: We can't recommend using Silk enough. Makes it dead simple and reliable to get a modern shine and snap finish on your chocolate. Please know, we are only able to ship Silk in the cooler months.
To preserve its freshness and rich flavor, always store chocolate making ingredients in an airtight container in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight. They benefit from stable, moderate conditions and should be kept sealed when not in use.
