| Tares are prepared a similar way as hemp. Except that when they are soaked you can add some bicarbonate of soda (about 1 teaspoon per half pound of tares), and they need to be cooked for a little longer. Tares are cooked for 10-20 minutes, you have to keep testing them, to see when they soften. Because you do not want tares to split, as they will just go to a mushy pea consistency. So once the tares have softened you need to strain the liquor off, and put the tares into some cold water. Then you HAVE to freeze the tares before they are ready to be used as hook bait, otherwise they will not be soft enough to hook, whilst being tough enough to hold on the hook. Adding sugar to the tares, prior to cooking, will give them a nice sheen. Some people add bicarb to their hemp as well, but it can lead to the hemp overcooking very easily! | /* |||||||||||||
