I didn't notice the first two posts. But last week I finished puting together my bike. I had a frame for about a year and procrastinate with picking components.

Usualy this time I making cider but this year all apples fel from the trees before they ripen.

I retried my recipe as a dry caramel and got improved results! I got a good color, as you can see in this picture. I think I got a little impatient and turned the heat up too high, because it was a bit burnt, although that might also have been because I forgot to prep my pan to pour into until it was almost done. The fats also went in later and were much better incorporated. I'm hoping to get one more attempt before the end of the month and have something I will feel good about making for the holidays.
