boxes, as small as two or three inches across, at some fabric/craft
stores, maybe a five-and-dime if such places still exist. These can be
covered with fabric and otherwise decorated, or even painted with your
baronial arms, etc., and are a good way of serving candied spices. I've
bought enough of these for one per table at feasts, and they cost maybe
a dollar a pop, and I didn't worry if people took them home as little
souvenirs of the event. >>
I did a similar thing with the same idea, only I cheaped out and used
jewellery boxes that I picked up at the local sally ann,and other various
places. I cleaned them with a bleach solution, then lined them with foil
(silver leaf?).
I had problems getting my confits to be large. I used aniseed, coriander,
ginger. but it must have taken a lifetime of dipping in the sugar syrup to
get them much bigger than their original size.
Anyone have any input here?
