Hard Candy - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. sugar
1/2 c. water
1/2 c. corn syrup
15 drops cinnamon, anise or clove oil
food coloring
powdered sugar

Preparation

Bring the first 3 ingredients to a boil at 300\u00b0.

When candy starts to border or harden around edges, cut into pieces with scissors.
Candy will still be quite hot as cutting begins.
