MOLECULAR GASTRONOMY GRAPEFRUIT CAVIAR

Steps:

• 1. Fill one medium bowl with about 3-4 inches of cold water. This is called your water bath and is used in the final step, set aside.
• 2. In the large bowl mix the sodium alginate with 1/2 the fruit juice and blend till completely dissolved using your mixer or immersion blender. If you don't have a immersion blender try to use a bowl that will allow the liquid to constantly move, and is deep enough the mixer attachments can blend properly. If it blends properly you will see a foam form on top.
• 3. Add the remaining fruit juice
• 4. Strain your fruit mixture into the empty med. bowl. This will remove any air bubbles from the mixture.
