Hi Robert,
Yes you are correct my lasy name is Samoan.
My Husbands family are samoan.
We are planning a vist there next june/july.
I would love to stay in contact with you, I see you
have plans to make liquor choclates...
My liquor usage is also in ganache. Sorry not much help with what you are looking to produce.
Sounds great keep me posted on your progress.

Yes you are very luck to have raw produce at your feet...

Bob - I stand corrected and made the change on the group page. It was (after all) late at night when I wrote it and I was working from memory.

Hi Bob, my liquor usage is in ganaches - which might not be your choice for a hot Samoan weather (the cream lowers shelf life). I have seen in my Hungarian school making liquor fillings. They create a chocolate layer in a cone shaped mould, then pour the liquor into the mould cavities. then they spray with a spray gun a a thin chocolate layer on top of the liquor filling, before finishing up as usual the mould with a normal chocolate layer. Not my cookie. As Clay said, lot of practice to do these things. I do prefer to use passionfruit, but never tried adding passion liquor to the ganache. I do not use liquors, rather grappa type, high alcohol (45 %) and no sugar content schnapps. It extends chocolate shelf life. Cheers, Hanna
