My thoughts:
McCormick contacted me lately close developing a recipe for their 125th anniversary using their master copy product, root beer concentrate. In 1889, 25 twelvemonth onetime Willoughby M. McCormick was selling root beer extract door-to-door hither inwards Baltimore. I've e'er had a fondness for McCormick, since it is based hither inwards Baltimore too when the spice found was downtown when I was real young, y'all could odor the spices wafting over the harbor. We've e'er used McCormick growing upward too inwards fact, when I told my woman raise close the root beer projection she told me that my Grandpop (born inwards 1914) had told her close his aunt Hilda making root beer at domicile too what a process it was. I bet that was made using McCormick concentrate! Buying soda at the shop was expensive therefore it was pop to build your ain at home. How fun is that?

While root beer is tasty on its own, I wanted to induce got the flavors of root beer too transform them into something new. I idea close making peanut or almond brittle amongst it simply too therefore a friend suggested I travel pecans instead. I'm glad I did! It gave the brittle a richer flavour too the pecan paired nicely amongst the root beer. I can't halt eating it.
