questions about sphereification!

John_Lindamood_33120

I'm looking into doing some Sphereification for my next wine and dine event. i want to do a dessert item, a blend of chocolate caviar and a fruit caviar. my question is how far in advance can the spheres be made and how long can they be held. i will need to make 50 portions of the dessert and do not want to have to do it on the fly, so if they can be held for a day or even a few hours in advance that would greatly help. also if they can be stored for a extended amount of time what is the best way to store them. thank you for any help in this matter.

You can make then in advance for quite a while. At least 5 hours, even over night. You need to hold them in a bath that is equal density to the spheres themselves, so same base basically. The problem is, they will continue to solidify throught the center. So it's a trade of but they can and should be done in advance.
