Uncle Phaedrus,
FYI&F.
For years I have been searching for and
attempting to make a clone of Reily Foods
Company's ("TryMe" Brand) Tiger Sauce. The
most common recipe appears on several web
sites, but unfortunately, it is not even
close to real Tiger Sauce. I have created
a Tiger Sauce clone recipe which I believe
may be the closest of anything published so
far.

Take care, Lynn

Subject: Cantelope Jelly Preserves
Hi,
I'm looking for a recipe for Cantelope jelly/jam/preserves,
or marmalade. My brother used to get the jelly from a man
that worked at a farmers market, and apparently this man
new an elderly lady that made the jelly for him. Well, they
both up and died. I can find someone to make the jelly for me
if I had a recipe. I don't know if it was called jelly, jam. preserves,
or marmalade, All I know is that it was about the
color of cantelope, and was similar to store bought jelly in
consistency. I know the thought of cantelope jelly does not
sound good, but it was delicious.

Hello Lynne,
See below.

Cantaloupe Jelly
2 1/2 pounds peeled and diced cantaloupe
2 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 peel of tangerine or orange
Place cantaloupe covered with sugar in a covered bowl and put in refrigerator for 24 hours.
Drain the cantaloupe, pouring off the sugar and liquid in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil
over medium flame and boil for 5 minutes.
Add diced cantaloupe, vanilla extract and peel. Insert candy thermometer and simmer,
stirring occasionally until the thermometer reaches jelly temperature.
Pour into sterilized jars; seal with wax and store in cool place.
Makes about 2 pints.
------------------------------------------
Cantaloupe Jam
Cantaloupe (very ripe)
3/4 pound granulated sugar per pound of cantaloupe
1/2 teaspoon each ginger, mace and cinnamon
per each pound of cantaloupe
Peel cantaloupe and remove the seeds. Weigh and chop very fine. Put sugar and cantaloupe
into a kettle with a little water. Cook slowly until fruit can be mashed.
Add remaining ingredients. Cook until thick.
------------------------------------------------
Cantaloupe Jam
2 large cantaloupes, peeled, cut into pieces.
2 lemons, juiced
2 oranges, juiced and rinds
1 can #2 1/2 size pineapple tidbits, drained
sugar, the same amount as fruit
1 small bottle maraschino cherries
Combine all ingredients except the cherries. Cook over low heat until thick,
about 1 1/2 hours.
Quarter cherries and add the last 15 minutes of cooking time.
To test for doneness, take a tablespoon full from kettle and place in the
freezer for a few minutes. If it is thick, it is done.
Immediately ladle into hot, sterile jars and seal.
This makes a chunky jam/topping depending on how large your pieces of
cantaloupe are.

Hello Jimmie,
I know the ones you mean. They're orange colored, banana flavored,
marshmallow textured and peanut shaped . They're called "Circus Peanuts."
When I was a kid, they were always the last thing left of my Halloween
candy.
I can't find a recipe to make them at home, but you can buy them online.
See:
Spangler Candy
and
Bulk Foods
For interesting history of these, see:
The Straight Dope
and
Retail Merchandising
Phaed
I was searching the internet today for recipes, as I often do, and came across one
for Circus Peanuts candy. I remembered that you had once searched unsuccessfully
for the same thing, so I thought I would pass it on to you for your readers since
I have found many recipes I wanted on your site.
I haven't tried this myself, so I can't vouch for it's accuracy; but here it is!
Backwoods Home
You have to scroll down a bit on the page to find it.
Sincerely,
Laura
Circus Peanuts (Thanks to Annabella)
Utensils needed:
Stand mixer (you must use a stand mixer for this, a hand mixer is not strong enough)
whip attachment (you can use regular beaters but the whip works well)
Small saucepan with lid
candy thermometer
small bowl
4 jelly roll cake pans (you can also use cookie sheets, but it makes less of a mess on a pan with sides)
piping bag with 1/2 inch tip
parchment paper
scissors or pizza cutter
Ingredients:
3 envelopes unflavored Gelatin
1/2 cup ice cold water
1/2 cup room temp water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon banana flavored extract or equivalent banana flavored liquor
2 drops orange food color, or red and yellow food color equivalent.
1/4 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup corn starch
non-stick cooking spray
Directions:
Put the ice water in the bowl of the stand mixer and add the gelatin.
In a small saucepan combine the room temperature water, sugar, corn syrup, and salt.
Put the saucepan over medium heat, cover and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes (sugar
should melt and the steam should wash all the sugar crystals from the sides of the pan).
Remove the cover and clip the candy thermometer to the side of the pan (The bulb of
the thermometer should be in the syrup mixture, but not touch the bottom of the pan).
Continue to cook until the syrup mixture reaches 240^F (takes about 7-8 minutes).
Remove it from the heat right away when it reaches 240^F.
Turn the mixer on low speed and slowly pour the hot syrup mixture down the side of
the bowl (so the syrup wont splash) into the gelatin mixture. Once you have added
all the syrup, turn the mixer up to high and mix until the fluff is thick and lukewarm
about 12-14 minutes. add the banana flavor and food coloring and continue to mix one
minute more.
In a small bowl mix the powdered sugar and the corn starch.
Line the jelly roll cake pans with parchment paper and spray with non-stick cooking
spray and dust with a little of the powdered sugar mixture.
Put the 1/2 inch tip on your piping bag, and spray the inside of the bag and tip with
nonstick cooking spray. Fill the bag with your fluff mixture, and pipe ropes of fluff
lengthways on the prepared pans with a fat, skinny, fat skinny design (to look like peanuts).
Using scissors or a pizza cutter, sprayed with non-stick spray, cut at every other
"skinny" place to resemble peanuts. Cover your fluff with the rest of the powdered sugar
mixture and allow them to sit for 4 hours or overnight. Shake off the excess powdered
sugar and your "circus peanuts" are ready. For a crispier texture you can dehydrate
these in your food dehydrator (use a low heat). Store them in a tin at room temperature.
