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.
