Malic acid, citric acid

I made the recipe for Strawberry Gazpacho (5-277) a couple weeks ago. It calls for both citric acid and malic acid. I found citric acid (organic, even) at Whole Foods in the bulk section. Malic acid was trickier to acquire, but I did eventually find some at a store in Kirkland that sells beer- and winemaking supplies. I had no luck finding a local source of fructose or glucose syrup DE40, so substituted ultrafine sugar and corn syrup. The soup turned out great.

Wayt,

Glad to hear you found citric and malic acid locally. You can usually find glucose syrup (without the DE40 designation) at candy/confection making supply stores... but as for thefructose, I think you're going to need to go online if you don't want to use ultrafine sugar.
