List of 8 recipes using Granulated sugar (without meat)

Candied grapefruit peel

Not really a dessert, more a kind of sweet. After soakiing, strips of grapefruit skin are cooked very slowly to conservethem in sugar. It's a real treat with coffee at the end of a meal.

Diamond biscuits

These round biscuits no doubt get their name from the coating of sparkling sugar crystals around the edge.

Fruit paste : Blackcurrant

If you like the taste of blackcurrant, this recipe is for you, the very pronounced taste of blackcurrant and its small acidity, in a delicious treat.

Galette Charentaise

This is a traditional cake from France's Charente region. The recipe is straightforward and the cake is slightly dense in texture, but quite delicious.

Kouign-amann brioche

This is unusual brioche is halfway to being a Breton Kouign-amann. The difference is in the treatment of the dough, which is layered with sugar and butter. The basic dough is rolled out with butter in stages, like for croissants, but with 2 "turns" of sugar for one of butter (granulated and vanilla sugar). The brioche is assembled in a round tin with spirals of dough that rise and caramelize during cooking. This recipe is rather rich, but what a treat!

Melt-in-your-mouth chocolate shortbread cookies

Small shortbread cookies with a rich chocolate flavor and a deliciously melt-in-your-mouth texture.

Quince paste

This traditional French "pâte de fruit" (fruit paste or leather) has a distinctive, firm consistency and is full of flavour, with the characteristic tang of quince. The preparation is rather long, but the result is well worth all the effort.

Windfall apple jelly

This jelly is an excellent way to make use of all those unripe apples that have dropped off the tree. They (or rather, their juice) makes a delicious jelly with a very delicate flavour. As these apples are green and generally tart, we need to use a little more gelling agent than for a normal jelly recipe.
