Getting candle out of mold, "So many Gadgets but not 1 for this" i couldnt help but think a microwave might be said gadget. 5 second blast on a medium heat would have been better and safer than a blow torch.
To unmold gelatin, place in a bowl of warm water (do not fully submerge) for about 10-15 seconds and turn over. If it's still stuck, burp it (by slidding a knife on one side while upside down) and it should dislodge easily
Yeah... It's really no use trying to educate him on these things, because he has no real understanding of scientific principles. He still thinks he needs to put pastry and cookie dough into the refrigerator to help it "retain its' shape" as it cooks in the oven...
I would actually like to see something like this in a blind taste test, maybe with Ashens? Trying out a bunch of 1970s Gelatin and Aspic themed "treats". Of course edible candles are required to complete the ensemble.
@@lardyman2 I think that it's more of a 1950s thing, but it's a real thing... Scares me. British cuisine gets poked fun at, but there's some truly awful foods that the United States churned out. The banana wrapped in processed slices of ham, slathered in hollandaise and broiled is just the tip of the iceberg...
For all Americans reading this note that whilst you can get Jell-O brand gelatine products at specialist American shops here in the UK, it is far easier to import it from the US for about £5 (just under $7 at time of writing. Also Barry, I'm not sure which other supermarkets sell it but Sainsbury's does sell Hartley's brand orange flavoured gelatine powder (65p for classic and £1 for sugar free)
Hi Barry! So the story is, Hellmann's suddenly had automated Mayo, at a time you either made your own or went without, so they paid for a bunch of magazine ads with recipes they made up to sell the Mayo. See also jello.
@@mrbarrylewis Since you get Dr. Oetker, see if the shop also has their flavoured jelly powder. German name is "Götterspeise" (lit. "food of the gods", like ambrosia), not sure what it sells under in the UK.
@@mrbarrylewis I saw people in the comments mentioning jelly, which I believe is fruit flavored gelatin. A single box of say orange Jell-o would have created a less rubbery salad. And it would have added more sweetness and the flavornto combat the tartness of cranberry. I need to send you a Minnesota Lutheran church cookbook….oh the gelatin salads are crazy.
Very odd but only yesterday I was scrolling through some of Barry's vids and saw his 1960's potato igloo thing and wondered if he was going to do another odd retro food of the past........and here we are to satisfy my thoughts. Good for you Baz.
In the US we have something called "Pam" which is a spray oil-based food lubricant, you spray it into whatever you're going to put food in and it helps it come out - so you'd have sprayed it into the glass before you added the "candle" and it would have helped it come out. You might look to see if you can find something like that, or else use an olive oil spritzer.
Most likely Hellman's and Ocean Spray belonged to the same company, so while one sponsored the recipe, the parent company wanted them to use the other brand. Most Ocean Spray cranberry products come from here in Massachusetts. You can visit the cranberry bogs, it's very picturesque.
Gelatine based food was definitely a thing in the 1970s. I remember (actually fondly) the gelatine desserts my grandmother made for every family get-together. And mustn't forget the EPFOT (like the EPCOT Center at Walt Disney World, but Experimental Prototype Food Of Tomorrow 😁) served at my school...😬
@@brianartillery I think that, because I was in college in Florida, is why EPFOT. Not the official name, it was another gelatine based dessert, basically blended with I think cream cheese. Almost exactly the "high protein" snack served in a nursing home I'd worked at.
I cook whole cranberries in orange juice and sugar, it's so cool watching them pop and that's the only way my family will eat cranberries during the holidays
This also reminds me of the "I-hate-to-cook" book by Peg Bracken (my mum used to have a couple). Very keen on gelatin and aspic and those advertorial tie-ins sorts of things like mayonaise
My church used to make lots of those jello dishes with molds. Sometimes you can set the mold (with jello in it) in a bowl of warm water for a little bit to help it release.
The contents of flavored jello packs are sugar, flavoring and gelatin. It's not pure gelatin powder. This could seriously affect the amount needed and the final product. Love the show just sayin
Mate, that's a crazy-looking food product(?) It's been a fair while since you've done a retro recipe! I agree it's a fun bit of novelty once in a while :) (side note: always appreciate the back to the future shirt - one of my all-time favourite movies ) EDIT: That was one of my favourite tastings and exactly what I expected🤣
I'm sure its common in UK too, considering it's common in many European countries. I feel he just didn't realize jell-o was an option. Like, we have it here in Finland in "american section" of bigger stores. I have never bought any or know anyone who has but it is there.
The jelly that we use in the UK usually comes in cubes of concentrated gelatin, sugar and flavouring. You can buy flavoured jelly powder too but it's far less of a common find in supermarkets.
I’m not well :( I’m on my 3rd lot of antibiotics in 4 weeks as I’ve got my 4th infection in 4 weeks! Autoimmune disease sucks but I have your videos to cheer me up!
It is a good idea to put hot water in the sink and put the glass in it for a little while to soften it around the outside to help unmold it. Same thing to do with unmolding chocolate too. Just don't let any water get into it. lol.
Mayonnaise is easy to make, you should try making some if you haven't already, it's just an egg yolk, a little mustard if you like, oil, and white wine vinegar.
@@mrbarrylewis I think the blackcurrants off set that feeling at least for me, sainsbury's is a bit out of the way for me, but, when I pop in I get a carton. 😁
Barry, the gelatin they are referring to is Jello, which is a mix of sugar and gelatin, the small package of jello is good enough for 2 cups of liquid, so you were fine with just one packet of pure gelatin. Anymore than that, it will be stiff as a board!
I'm sure this is an American recipe, that being said it needed lime (green). Cherry/Strawberry(red), Lemon (yello)Jell-0 in a 3 oz package which has not just gelatin but also sugar in the mixture. Also in America our whole cranberry sauce comes in a can (tin) and from the looks of the photo they repurposed the can as the mold for the "candle" I'm sure it still tastes horrific but if you wanted to give it a proper try may consider making those changes. A very fun video just the same!
1970's USA maybe. We definitely didn't have Cranberries and Helmanns mayonnaise in my corner of West Wales in the 70's.. Blackberries and salad cream maybe !!
I would love to see you try some of the retro recipes that Emmy from emmymadeinjapan has done over the years, some are fun others are a nightmare to think about. All those retro jelly and mayo recipes, some are just nasty. And lest not forget the Recession era recipes, some are very intriguing.
My suggestion, use a small plastic cup with a wider top and smaller bottom. Easier to come out, can be destroyed, no need to heat up to remove from container
Do you think it might be better if you made it with jello and put it in a mold? you are a brave man. my husband says he's been alive 61 years and no, just no. no way would he ever eat it. love your videos. love to you and your family and happy holidays.
OK this is going to drive me nuts because the proportions are all wrong. A tablespoon is only 15 ML’s so if it said 2 tablespoons that’s only a total of 30 ML you put at least half a cup way overdid the mayonnaise. A 3 ounce box of Jell-O probably has at least 2 1/2 ounces of sugar so you overdid the gelatin amount
the dry mouth part of drinking cranberry juice is simply due to the fact that it's pretty astringent, similar to how a wine high in tannins comes across as dry. This is definitely NOT my kind of salad, btw.
all ya need to have done to release it was to stick a butter knife down one side of the glass to the bottom to break the ceil, pull it a bit toward the centre and give it a few vigorous shakes and it would have fallen right out... ah well, watching you use a kitchen torch to get it out was half the fun xD
Well, since you think we should try everything once. I challenge you to try surströmming and also balut. If you have the fortitude to try them, do so outdoors as I suspect an incredibly upset stomach response. Yes I have tried both and my results were the same as my prediction for you.

Next time, a coffee stirrer and a puff of air might do the trick.
put the mix in to a clean tin can, instead of a glass. then you can open the bottom up to push the set candle out.
They meant for you to buy Orange Jelly cubes -- thats what orange flavour gelatin is!!#
edit: ok someone pointed that out!
Oh god no!
Getting candle out of mold, "So many Gadgets but not 1 for this" i couldnt help but think a microwave might be said gadget. 5 second blast on a medium heat would have been better and safer than a blow torch.
3 oz of flavored gelatin sounds exactly like a box of jello mix!
Definitely Jello!
I'm surprised the recipe didn't specify Jell-O...must not've wanted to pay enough.
Damn! Haha I need to try it with this stuff!
Yup. Lots of Jell-O "salads" here in the south (southern US).
I came to the comments to find out if I was right about the Jell-O theory 😂
Barry, most of the weight of fruit flavored gelatin is sugar. So you don't need much plain gelatin at all.
oh god do not do 7 packets.... the fruit jelly has other stuff....
Right only about ONE packet of the gelatin per cup of liquid to make a nice gell.
This is exactly what I was going to say. I enjoy his videos, but sometimes he doesn't use his 🧠
yes that concept horrified me - loss of sugar and flavoring
God love ya, THINK, Barry! 🙄

However, my collie's ears pricked up and she gave me an expectant look.
@@gemstone39 At least one doggo that got animated by the prospect of a walkie👍
Dipping the glass in hot water would have been a better way to unmold it.
I know I can't have been the only person watching this muttering "dip it in hot water. That'll do it."
Right!? My eyes Leroy getting bigger and bigger... lol
A blow torch works just as well!

Ohhhh dear Barry! You should put the jug with the candle in a bowl of hot water an melt it to unmold it, it is much easier! But still, well done! :)
I was totally going to say the same thing!
In the US we have something called "Pam" which is a spray oil-based food lubricant, you spray it into whatever you're going to put food in and it helps it come out - so you'd have sprayed it into the glass before you added the "candle" and it would have helped it come out.

Oh boy, I would thoroughly enjoy seeing you do more aspic recipes, some of them are so horribly gruesome, perhaps a tasting with Sir Ashens?

Not sure!? Just said gelatine flavoured sachets which in the UK aren't very common at all!
@@mrbarrylewis true, they are mainly cubes of jelly. Oh well, it looked very interesting, I think the texture may throw me lol 🤣

Hey Barry I think the gelatin they are talking about us Jell-O not package jelatin
Please do more retro meals!!!!! There are so interesting 🤨
Had one at my 5 th b day. Was yummy!!
Gelatin molds are my guilty pleasure. Love making them. Just not sure about yours...
Hello Barry lovely video its absolutely crazy I wonder what other Christmas recipes you're going to do.
Got a panettone coming up next week
Lol 😂 I am late to the game... but it's jello😂💕and Barry you are hilarious as usual 🥂🍾happy holidays mate to you the Mrs. And the girls‼️
it is called just gel which is normally used in the sponge fruit flans and you can it in strawberry or orange flavour.
You can buy jelly rectangles from the dessert aisle, they're about 3x2 inches
In the US flavored gelatin will contain sugar making up the bulk of its weight, a small portion of the box is actulally gelatin!
You're not using as a candle, it's a candle stick holder and the way I imagine that smells, would definitely be a gwenith candle flavor
Some things should stay in the past, this is one of them.
Under warm water warm carefully the glass... and / or put a bit cooking spray into the glass before you fill the "candle" in it... :-)
It's odd to me that you couldn't find flavored gelatin, because Jell-o is so freaking common here in the States
I'm sure its common in UK too, considering it's common in many European countries. I feel he just didn't realize jell-o was an option. Like, we have it here in Finland in "american section" of bigger stores. I have never bought any or know anyone who has but it is there.

I've only ever seen gelatin powder in an independent health food shop. It's all just plain sheets or flavoured cubes 🇬🇧
I love when you try to do a recipe from America especially ones that are from out past. Such a laugh. Certain things just don't translate well.
I’m not well :( I’m on my 3rd lot of antibiotics in 4 weeks as I’ve got my 4th infection in 4 weeks! Autoimmune disease sucks but I have your videos to cheer me up!
Not gonna lie, I really wanna try it.
You can get actual orange or strawberry jelly powder in polish shops. 😄
Ocean Spray cranberry sauce comes in a can in the US so I imagine you would use the empty can as the mold here.
It is a good idea to put hot water in the sink and put the glass in it for a little while to soften it around the outside to help unmold it. Same thing to do with unmolding chocolate too. Just don't let any water get into it. lol.
Mayonnaise is easy to make, you should try making some if you haven't already, it's just an egg yolk, a little mustard if you like, oil, and white wine vinegar.
I've never seen Ocean Spray in a glass jar here in America, that's wild! Cranberry bogs and Ocean Spray are literally in my family...
This reminds me of the captain's cake from Carry on Cruising.
hey barry, wouldn't a pack of jelly have done the job of fruit flavoured gelatine?
also crazy end result, i think i would have responded like mrs b :]
Yes possibly, I just wanted to go full gelatine powder (within reason!) glad I didn't use it all though!
If you like the taste of cranberry juice, I found an Ocean Spray Blackcurrent and Cranbury Juice in Sainsbury's that was really good!
I'll have to try it out, I don't mind it I just find cranberry juice can make my mouth dry!
@@mrbarrylewis I think the blackcurrants off set that feeling at least for me, sainsbury's is a bit out of the way for me, but, when I pop in I get a carton. 😁

I'd say the colour variation is only because you didn't use flavoured jello, but definitely interesting 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🦘🦘🦘🦘
I actually gagged when it plopped into the glass 😂
lol sorry!
Is the red, yellow or orange fruit flavoured gelatin not just jelly powder?
Could you imagine showing up to a dinner party and being served that?
I was born nearly 40yrs ago and growing up in the 80s my grandma used gelatin and jelly in tons of desserts
A very 70s-80s thing
Looks interesting
I'd bet they certainly meant Jello dessert, which would include sugar weight.
Do they sell that in UK?
I'm sure this is an American recipe, that being said it needed lime (green). Cherry/Strawberry(red), Lemon (yello)Jell-0 in a 3 oz package which has not just gelatin but also sugar in the mixture.

Oh my god, he melted Mr Blobby!
you should try tomato soup cake. I remember it from my childhood
1970's USA maybe. We definitely didn't have Cranberries and Helmanns mayonnaise in my corner of West Wales in the 70's..
Blackberries and salad cream maybe !!
15:57 Except, given your collabs with Ashens, that's grading on _quite_ a curve.
Think they did mean yellow kind of stuff from the 1970's whit sugar and stuff all ready in it. So the weight wasn't just gelatin.
Why is there a dustpan full of cherry tomatoes in the Cranberry candle photo?
It reminds me of the one time I tried to make muffins.
I would love to see you try some of the retro recipes that Emmy from emmymadeinjapan has done over the years, some are fun others are a nightmare to think about. All those retro jelly and mayo recipes, some are just nasty. And lest not forget the Recession era recipes, some are very intriguing.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. Your willingness to do things this ridiculous is one of my favourite things about your channel.
My suggestion, use a small plastic cup with a wider top and smaller bottom. Easier to come out, can be destroyed, no need to heat up to remove from container
No offence Barry but that thing does look like someone put Mr Blobby through the wood chipper.
Great video 👍
Shouldn’t the candle melt to be the sause?
Surprisingly
Do you think it might be better if you made it with jello and put it in a mold? you are a brave man. my husband says he's been alive 61 years and no, just no. no way would he ever eat it. love your videos. love to you and your family and happy holidays.
Perhaps it would’ve been a good idea to put clingfilm inside the glass to allow you to get it out a little easier
I think the recipe meant Jello which is flavored. The gelatin would be too plain.
I think using a disposable plastic cup for the mold would work better, since then you could just cut the cup away.
6:12 the problem with that pun is that you didn't have Thyme in your hands lol
OK this is going to drive me nuts because the proportions are all wrong. A tablespoon is only 15 ML’s so if it said 2 tablespoons that’s only a total of 30 ML you put at least half a cup way overdid the mayonnaise.

I know what Ashen's is having on his next birthday
Oh my word. It looked like vom when it slorped out of the glass 😫😂
i just can't wrap my head around the idea of putting fruits with mayo
When the "candle" came out of the mould I literally felt sick 🤣🤣
What a coincidence that at school we had “Through back Thursday” where it is spirit week and we dress in the 1900s.
The difficult unmooring took me back to EmmyMade having trouble in molding these retro recipes
Well, since you think we should try everything once. I challenge you to try surströmming and also balut. If you have the fortitude to try them, do so outdoors as I suspect an incredibly upset stomach response. Yes I have tried both and my results were the same as my prediction for you.
He did try surströmming, it's on Ashens' channel.
i'm guessing flavoured gelatin is mostly sugar by weight
the pale color could be because you didn't have 'red' gelatin. One could possible use red raspberry, cherry or strawberry gelatin
why didn't you use wax paper in the mold?
Isnt flavored gelatin just Jelly/Jello dessert?
