How homemade caramel, fruit candies and zefir differ from factory-made sweets.
Caramel is cooked to an exact temperature: a few degrees decide whether it turns out soft, chewy or hard. Fruit candies are made from berry and fruit purée, so their colour and flavour change with the season. Zefir is whipped from apple purée and egg whites into an airy mass. Handmade work takes longer, but it gives sweets with a short, clear ingredient list and a distinct fruit flavour.
