What do you get when you mix blueberry preserves with edible glitter?
That’s right, space jam!
We came across this galaxy slime, and it occurred to me that if you could find edible glitter, you could do kind of the same thing with purple jelly.
A quick search and I found Disco Dust, which, while billed as “edible” online, only says NON-TOXIC on the label. At $6 it is rather expensive, and comes in a small 5g container.
I chose blueberry preserves because I figured they’d give a good purple, cosmic-colored base without being too dark to see the glitter, and I thought that preserves would mix better than jelly. Plus, the blueberries themselves look kind of like heavenly bodies.
And it worked pretty well. For a tablespoon or two of jam, it only took two shakes of glitter, or about 10% of the jar, but you can experiment to see what density of glitter you think looks best. One jar of glitter mixed with approximately one jar of preserves.
And yes, I ate it. Glitter is typically made of glass or plastic, but Disco Dust is actually digestible starch. Or else my insides will be covered in sparkly flecks for all time.
To make it more interesting (and more spacey) use a star- or planet-shaped cookie cutter to make custom-shaped toast.
I’m not convinced that glitter is actually edible. The linked site only says “non-toxic”, which is not the same as edible. After further research, there are many sites that state things such as this about Disco Dust, “An extra fine glitter with lots of
sparkle. 5 grams. Developed for the craft industry and often used on
display cakes, Disco Dusts contain only ingredients that are NON-TOXIC. These dusts are not FDA approved. They are not a food product and should not be considered as such.” http://www.ckproducts.com/categories/316/Disco-Dust
The only one that seems to be truly edible (and even that is under some debate) is this stuff. It’s made of gum arabic which is ok to eat, but some of their pigments are mica based, which is a type of mineral stone. http://www.watson-inc.com/our-capabilities/film-technology/edible-glitter/
You can decide if you want to eat rocks on your own (even very small ones), but I don’t recommend eating non-toxic glitter. Here’s an informative article about why doing so may not be a good idea: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/cupcake-glitter-decorations-unsafe-uk-us/story?id=17445446
Try to use common sense. Don’t eat things that don’t have their ingredients listed on the container. Non-toxic doesn’t mean food. Non-toxic glue won’t kill you if you consume a little, but do you really want to eat glue?
