Glass Candy - cooking recipe
Ingredients
-
3 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1 cup water
1 1/2 1 1/2 teaspoons cinnamon extract or 1 1/2 teaspoons orange extract, etc.
food coloring
Preparation
-
You will need a candy thermometer.
Mix first 3 ingredients in large saucepan.
Stir over heat until sugar dissolves.
Bring to a boil and stop stirring.
Continue to boil until temperature reaches 310 degrees F, it may take 20- 30 minutes.
Remove from heat.
After boiling has stopped, stir in extract& coloring of choice.
Quickly, spread out onto a LIGHTLY greased baking sheet so that the candy is no more than 1/4 inch thick.
Candy does not need to touch all edges of baking sheet.
Cool, then break into pieces.
Store in an air-tight container.
SPECIAL NOTE: After reaching 310 degrees, I like to put 1/2 of mixture in a separate kettle, so that I can make two different colors and/or flavors.
