Today I was making vanilla slices and
wanted pink icing ..this is a great way to make it using no nasty toxic
colouring ...
It realy couldn't be easier...All I needed
was a beetroot ,perfect for pink colouring ..I just cut a slice of fresh
beeetroot , peeled the skin off chopped it up small added a little water then
used the coloured water mixed with icing sugar , how simple is that ..I also
make my own icing sugar..just buy putting sugar into my blender and blending
until you have icing sugar maybe 30 seconds if that ..if you want castor sugar a
few seconds only ...
You can also make lots of other food
colours in a similar way by experimenting with lots of different fruits and
vegetables..some you may need to grate to get the colours out better..but if any
one has ever handled beetroot you will know that every things gets pink very
quickly ..I have also used beetroot juice to dye fabric ...If you only have tinned beetroot just use a few drops to achieve the colour you want from pale pink to darker pink..If you make pink icing regularly you can freeze a few ice cubes with the juice or coloured water and when need just grate of as much as you need each time...or only fill the ice cube trays part way full then you can use one each time you need to make pink icing store them in a zip lock bag or another container to free up your ice cube tray for others things...like stock cubes, ice cubes, lemon juice cubes..the list goes on ..
