Hard Candy and Lollipop Recipe

Ingredients: - 2 cups granulated sugar - 2/3 cup light corn syrup - 3/4 cup water - 1 dram (1 teaspoon)* of LorAnn super-strength flavoring, any flavor - LorAnn liquid food coloring or gel food coloring (as desired) - Hard candy molds (optional) - Powdered sugar (optional) - Sucker bags & twist ties (optional)

Directions: 1. In a heavy (good quality) 2-quart saucepan, mix together sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. 2. Insert a candy thermometer, making sure it does not touch the bottom of the pan. Bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. 3. Early in the cooking process, "wash down" any sugar crystals that form on the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush. 4. Continue to cook the syrup, without stirring, until the temperature reaches 260°F; add drops of coloring until the desired hue is achieved. Do not stir; the boiling action will incorporate the color into the syrup. 5. Remove from heat precisely at 300°F (the temperature will continue rising), or until drops of syrup form hard, brittle threads in cold water (hard crack stage). After the boiling action has ceased, add the flavor and stir. Use caution when adding the flavoring to avoid rising steam. 6. Carefully pour the syrup into prepared molds or onto a greased and foil-lined cookie sheet. (As the sugar mixture begins to set up, you may want to score it with a large knife to mark squares.) Do not refrigerate. 7. Cool completely. Break the sheet candy into small pieces and dust with powdered sugar, if desired. Store in airtight containers between waxed paper. If making lollipops, do not dust with powdered sugar, but place in sucker bags and secure with twist ties. Store hard candy in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate.

*Another alternative is to pour the hot candy onto a heat-resistant surface covered in powdered sugar. When the candy is slightly cooled, it can be cut with well-oiled scissors into pillow-shaped pieces (you may want to wear heat-resistant gloves, such as rubber, to protect hands from heat).

Flavor Usage: LorAnn's super-strength flavors are three to four times the strength of typical baking extracts. When substituting super-strength flavors for extracts, use 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon for 1 teaspoon of extract. These flavors are suitable for a wide variety of applications, including hard candy, general candy making, cakes, cookies, frosting, ice cream, and more.
