Lollipops
1
Ingredients
- 1 cup
sugar
- 1/2 cup
water
- 1/4 cup
white corn syrup
- 1/4 to 1/2
teaspoon flavoring
- small dab
paste food coloring.
Method
Prepare
molds first by spraying with non stick cooking spray, wipe out excess
spray with paper towel. Place sticks in molds.
In 1 quart sauce pan (2 quart
saucepan for double batch), blend sugar, water and corn syrup until sugar
is dissolved. Bring to boil (DO NOT STIR ANY MORE) over high heat
until mixture reaches 290° F on a candy thermometer. Remove pan from
heat. Allow to stand until bubbles have settled down. Add
flavoring and color, as desired. Stir until blended and bubbles
disappear. Too much stirring will cause syrup to solidify into a hard
sugar lump. Work fast.
Pour into hard candy molds and
allow to set until hardened.
Remove lollipops from molds and
place in plastic sucker bags and tape shut or wrap each lollipop in
plastic wrap. If lollipops are not going to be eaten right away,
store in refrigerator.
Yield:
approximately 10 to 14 lollipops.
Recipe may be doubled
