Product Description

McCormick Culinary Red Food Coloring is a concentrated formula that helps you achieve the vibrant hues you envision when you choose a recipe. From intense red to super bright pink, red food dye from McCormick makes it easy to get the exact shade you're looking for. Achieve rich colors for fondant, icing and batter for your baking and decorating needs, all without affecting the food's consistency. This product comes in 32-ounce bottles, perfect for offering true, consistent red hues every time. McCormick Red Food Coloring makes your food lively enough for any occasion, dressing up delicious recipes and inspiring extraordinary menus you can depend on. Are you looking for a red food dye that will add a splash of color to cookies, cakes or desserts? Experiment with Easter eggs, red velvet cupcakes for Valentine's Day, summery fruit punch drinks and Christmas-themed sweets. Use 32-ounce red food dye for coloring eggs. Mix 1/4 teaspoon of food color, 1 teaspoon of vinegar and a 1/2 cup of boiling water. Submerge hard-boiled eggs into dye for five minutes or longer to achieve the color you desire. Remove the eggs and place them on a wire rack to dry. You can also use McCormick Culinary Red Food Coloring to make ladybug cupcakes, heart-shaped cakes and red apple cookies. For ladybug cupcakes, prepare a batch of cupcakes using your favorite recipe. Give your frosting a red hue by mixing 16 ounces of prepared white frosting and a 1/4 teaspoon of McCormick red food coloring. Replicate a ladybug using one black jelly bean for the head and a 1 1/2-inch piece of licorice down the center. Place small, stringed pieces of licorice over the top. To make colorful cakes, add 1/2 teaspoon of red food coloring to your white cake batter and bake it according to the instructions provided on the package. For red apple cookies, simply glaze apple-shaped cookies with red-tinted cookie icing.
