Confit NH Charlotte and Magnum Strawberry
Description
Often incorrectly referred to as a confit by pastry chefs, this product is actually a gel.
Any changes you make to it can be reversed by reheating, and its texture is mostly affected by the amount of sugar around it, as well as pH levels.

Mix with an immersion blender until homogenous, then heat to 185°F (85°C), stirring all the while.
Pour immediately.
Trick
If you break up the gel as you stir, it will have a different texture and behave in a different way.
You can use a piping bag to add it to your dessert.
