I just made a batch of imbc... and im trying to make different flavor variations. Kaluah came out pretty good. the strawberry is another story... i added puree to the imbc and ended up with a curdled mess even after beating forever. icon_cry.gif Can anyone offer tips and /or suggestions on flavoring this stuff? thanks all.

For fruit flavored IMBC, I sub 1 cub of preserves/jelly/jam for 1 cup of the sugar when making the syrup.

I make it unflavored and just stir in rasberry or other puree at the end after it is just mixed to the right consistancy. Works like a charm.

Yeah...puree is too watery for IMBC. I use the Hero fruit compounds which are less sweet and more intensely flavored than jam and they work GREAT!

Are these the same as the icing fruit sold at country kitchens and how potent are these? Are they better than the refridgerated types? Thanks guys for all of the tips.

I use compounds as well. These are the ones we used in class and they are really good.
