Pumpkin Mints Recipe
Here's a mint recipe that will certainly catch people's eye. Make these mints
for Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Yield: 40 Mints
Pumpkin Mint Ingredients:
-
1/4 cup milk
-
4 tsp. butter
-
3 1/2 cups confectioner's sugar
-
2 drops oil of peppermint
-
Green, red and yellow food colorings
How to make Pumpkin Mints:
-
In a saucepan, heat the milk and butter, stirring frequently until the butter
has melted.
-
Remove from heat.
-
Add the confectioner's sugar and mix thoroughly.
-
Mix in the oil of peppermint.
-
As soon as it is cool enough to work with, knead with hands until fondant
is smooth.
-
Take about 1/6 of the fondant, add green food coloring. Knead to mix
color evenly.
-
Cover with a damp cheesecloth, to prevent drying.
-
To the remaining fondant, add enough yellow and red food coloring to make
it an orange pumpkin color. Cover with damp cheesecloth.
-
Working with small amount of the orange-colored fondant at a time, roll into
small balls in the palms of your hands.
-
Using a toothpick, make grooves in the fondant ball, to resemble the "ribs"
in a pumpkin.
-
Roll a small piece of the green fondant in thin cylinders, and cut into
short stem-like pieces.
-
Press the "stem" onto the top of each pumpkin.
