GiGwi Jumball Rubber Basketball Dog Toy with Handle High Visability Throw Fetch Toy Dog Ball - Multicoloured

Product Information

The GiGwi Jumball is perfect for really rough play as the durable rubber exterior resists even the most determined dog! It is a welcoming gesture for guests, it signifies a holiday or a special meal, and it is a demonstration of a baker’s skill at making something pleasing to the eye and the palate. The strong handle makes the Jumball easy for a dog to pick up and bring back, making it a firm favourite for outdoor games. Today I’m also inviting you to a virtual baking competition: the third annual The Great Rare Books Bake Off, a friendly contest between the sister libraries of Penn State University and Monash University.

As Stephen Schmidt explains in this helpful glossary entry, “When jumbles first came to England from Italy, in the sixteenth century, they were sugary, anise-flavored cookies formed by tying ropes of dough in elaborate two-sided knots, such as a figure-eight or a pretzel knot. They reminded me of all sorts of almond-rich, marzipan-like, European-style cookies that I’ve had the pleasure to enjoy near home or while traveling. That said, starting with whole almonds and including gum dragon would likely impact the texture of the final jumballs. Shape the almond lemon and the almond chocolate jumballs on a cutting board and place onto the lined baking sheets.If you plan to make a batch of entirely almond and lemon jumballs, simply skip the final steps that describe dividing the dough and adding cocoa powder and cocoa nibs. We did this by rolling the dough into a log and slicing 1/4 inch cookies, but there are many other ways to shape this kind of dough. I’ve also posted some here: My Lady Chanworths Rec ei pt for Jumballs (UPenn) and Almond Jumballs (Folger).

Kim Hall’s scholarship on sugar and status in the period demonstrates that British women’s increased use of sugar implicated them in the systems of commerce and colonialism that kept people of African and Caribbean descent enslaved as laborers in sugar cane fields in the Americas.

I’d be curious to hear how an egg substitute would work if any of my readers prepare a vegan version. The tough rubber handle makes it easy for your dog to pick up the Jumball and challenge you to a game of tug of war!
