I plan to build a few package this spring. I can imagine how to build boxes, I can find open cans but the little machine to close the can is really expensive, even used. I see in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DtZPBH7TzNY that those people don't use cover on the cans. Is it some kind if candy?. In that case, does somebody has a special formula?
thanks for your input.
Pascal.
I couldn't get a good enough look at their cans to see what you were talking about. I didn't watch the whole video just skimmed through it. Fondant would probably work at keeping a package alive during transit.
I found it on the video. Looks like they are using a candy board mixture and dumping it in the cans. Lots of recipes out there for candy boards that could be used.
A can of peaches in light syrup fits perfectly!
I think it a 28-32 oz can.
A new quart paint can could work with some modification.
Another option maybe opening a can with the kind of opener that doesn't leave sharp edges and using silicone to seal... I've never tried
thanks for your response, I will use candy as I already do some to feed my hives in early sping.
Why doe it have to be metal? There are thousands of plastic containers with removable lids for a throw away application.
