Day 11: Balsamic Pearls
Another easy recipe so I can get back on track! This principle should work for turning basically any liquid into a gel sphere. To be clear, the gellification recipes (with Agar Agar) turn things into a solid, jello like substance. The

I was ten kinds of tired tonight so I went with something fairly easy – raspberry ravioles. These are actually really lame. They turn out like little circles of raspberries. Surprise! Raspberries are already circular! Haha. Really though, the value
