Fondant into syrup

[Tindog]

Good Evening Folks,
Does anyone use left over fondant for thin syrup in the Spring? I tried last year but the syrup even melted with water tended to solidify making it difficult to manage.

have in the past - fondant is only sugar so mix it the same, 1 measure fondant to one of water

Yes....same here
Helps to warm it to dissolve

... 1 measure fondant to one of water.... presume by weight not volume?

Precisely?
I simply add water stir and wait. If it doesn't dissolve add more till it does

doesn't really matter - the bees won't care whether its exactly 1:1 volume or weight

On a slightly different note I have several litres of left over thymalised sugar solution from last year.It appears fine so do you think I can use it please?

 

[Repwoc]

Yes. Just make sure none of it gets in the honey.

I save my left over fondant wrapped in clingfilm and kept in a sealed plastic pail.

When time come to use it, I gently spray the surface with a fine water mist if it has hardened. Bees eat it if hungry.

Many thanks for advice. Delay this end because of tech issues
