Instructions

  1. 1 Fill a large pot with at least 3 inches of water and bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce temperature to low. Look for the water to be ready when you see bubbles at the bottom of the pot; there should be no bubbles breaking the surface of the water.
  2. 2 Crack egg into a small mesh sieve and allow any loose egg whites to drain. Transfer egg to a small bowl or ramekin.
  3. 3 When water has reached the right temperature, stir in vinegar. Using a spoon, swirl water in the center of the pot into a vortex or whirlpool and carefully drop egg into the center. Cook until egg white is set, but yolk is still soft and runny, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Do not overcook.
  4. 4 Use a slotted spoon to transfer poached egg to a paper towel to remove excess water.

  1. 1 Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in milk and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Season with Dijon, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cook until sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 3 to 5 minutes. Remove sauce from the heat.
  2. 2 Fill a large saucepan with 2 to 3 inches of water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, pour in vinegar, and keep the water at a gentle simmer. Crack an egg into a small bowl then gently slip egg into the simmering water, holding the bowl just above the surface of water. Repeat with the remaining egg. Cook eggs until the whites are firm and the yolks have thickened but are not hard, 2 1/2 to 3 minutes. Remove the eggs from the water with a slotted spoon, dab on a kitchen towel to remove excess water, and place onto a warm plate.
  3. 3 Melt remaining butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add bread and toast in melted butter on both sides. Top bread slices liberally with warm sauce, then top with ham and Gruyere cheese. Place poached eggs on top.
  4. 4 Cover the pan with foil or a lid and turn off heat. Let stand until cheese has melted and sauce and eggs have set, about 5 minutes.
  5. 5 Serve immediately, spooning any leftover sauce on top of eggs. Season with salt and pepper and sprinkle with chives and paprika.

  5. 5 Remove jars from the pot and let rest, several inches apart, for 12 to 24 hours. Press centers of each lid with a finger to ensure lids do not move up or down. Remove rings for storage and store in a cool, dark area.

Instructions

  1. 1 In a large saucepan over medium heat, stir together the sugar, corn syrup and vinegar. Bring to a boil, and heat to the hard crack stage, 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads. Do not stir once the mixture begins to boil.
  2. 2 While you wait for the sugar to come up to temperature, grease a 7x11 inch baking dish. When the mixture reaches the hard crack stage, remove from heat, and quickly stir in the baking soda with a long handled spoon; it will become very foamy. Pour immediately into the prepared dish, and set aside to cool. Cut into little pieces when cool.
  3. 3 If you wish to coat the candies with chocolate, melt the chocolate chips in a metal bowl over a pan of simmering water, stirring occasionally until smooth. If the chocolate is too thick, some vegetable oil may be added. Dip pieces of candy in chocolate, and place on waxed paper until set.
