Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 cups granulated sugar
2/3 cup light corn syrup
3/4 cup water
1 dram LorAnn flavoring oil -- (1tsp.) (or as
-- desired)
LorAnn liquid food coloring -- (as desired)
Powdered sugar -- (optional)
In a 2-quart kettle or large saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup and
water. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves. Bring mixture to a boil.
DO NOT stir mixture while it is cooking. When temperature of syrup reaches
260 F, add color. Do not stir; boiling action will incorporate color into
syrup. Remove from heat precisely at 305ø F (temperature will continue
rising), or until drops of syrup form hard, brittle threads in cold water.
After boiling action has ceased, add flavor and stir. USE CAUTION WHEN ADDING
FLAVORING TO AVOID RISING STEAM.
Pour syrup onto lightly greased cookie sheet or onto a heat resistant surface
covered with a piece of heavy-duty aluminum foil. (As the sugar mixture
begins to set up, you may want to score with a large knife to mark squares.)
Cool completely. Lightly dust with powdered sugar on both sides, brushing off
excess. Break into small pieces. Store in airtight containers between waxed
paper. (Yield: approx. 2 lb.)
