Hi everybody, i'm in the hot and humid Cayman Islands and have to do some sugar work, I purchased some isomalt but do not know the cooking procedure to get it to the workable stage. How hot do I cook it to, what is the ratio of isomalt to water? Is
tartaric acid nescessary? Any help is appreciated... The average temp is 80-90 F'
and the humidity is about 80%.
