Meyer Lemon and Root Beer Float


Meyer Lemon and Root Beer Float are ready for Spring. White chocolate is not my favorite, but these two flavors need it.

hello Ruth,
Just came across your blog and am admiring your chocolate work. In an earlier post, you mentioned that Andrew Shotts said that the g-pectin by Chef Rubber is not according to his specifications. How was the sample g-pectin that you received from Mr. Shotts? Do you know where else to obtain g-pectin if not from Chef Rubber? I have not received a reply to a direct inquiry to Garrison Confections. Thanks for any info

I think the g pectin has an acid in it. Drew said he is going to make his own. I don't think I have used the sample he sent as my recipes are for pate d'fruit pectin. Ask Paul at Chef Rubber. Drew is teaching a class in LA next week. I know someone who is taking the class and can have him ask.

Thank you for your reply. That would be great if your friend could ask Mr. Shotts. I cannot find any recent references to the g-pectin issue on the internet. Your information seems to be the most recent information from the person who "invented" the g-pectin. So it would seem better to find out more before buying Chef Rubber's formulation and discovering it really isn't what Mr. Shotts had in mind for the recipes in his book.

I like the idea for the rootbeer chocolate...and they look yummy too!
