Ruby cranberries treasure

Ruby RB1 is the best match for this kind of applications.
The flavour of the dried berries and the RB1 is so complementary. The berries boost the taste of the chocolate while the chocolate smoothen the berries flavour. It is just the perfect combination.
All dried berries will work for this application.

 

You need to use a panning machine for this application.

    CHR-R35RB1

Apply 100 g of melted chocolate (40-45°C) and let the layer set before applying the next one.
Repeat the process until you obtain the desire thickness.
The ideal temperature of the room should be 15 to 18°C. You can also use cold air flow (8-15°C; a maximum of 60% humidity) to speed up the process.

When the right thickness is reach you will need to smoothen them by blowing warm air in the panning machine. The chocolate should be little bit sticky but not melted (25-27°C).

Repeat this operation twice (5 g of shiny agent each step)
Humidity level must be below 60% to have a good shine.
The cranberries must be at 14°C.
