    The Klondike gold rush national historical park sent us a machine to restore for them a while back. This is the video of us using the restored machine to make strawberry candy off some rollers of theirs.

    The museum should use it to make and sell candy so that it's not just sitting there unused. Those strawberries look REALLY delicious!

      actually they should commission a reproduction of it to use to make candy that way this one can be preserved as a piece of history.

    How are those hard candies with the liquid inside made? You know, those little strawberry candies that you can never find, but your grandma always seems to just have

    • @LoftyPursuits
      @LoftyPursuits  5 лет назад +26

      Sort of. The put the filling inside a wrap of hard candy and then put it though the press. Hard to do without making a huge mess.

    I never comment, I usually just watch in amazement. But I have to say you did an absolutely outstanding job on restoring that small piece of history. The stories that one machine hold, have to be astonishing. Kudos for being so tentative to making it shine again.
