I have this idea meant to make the most of all that I produce, but I don't know if it's a good idea or not:
Instead of filtering the niter out, I've just let it settle to the bottom of jars, so far. I'll pour the clear syrup off the top, back into a pan to heat up to canning temps.
The more heavily nitered syrup left behind... could I just make candy out of that? Won't the niter dissolve back into the syrup again when I heat it up to candy temps and whip it?
Thoughts?
