Stained Glass Candy
Equipment:
2 15" x 10" x 1" pan
heavy saucepan
candy thermometer
Ingredients:
3 3/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup corn syrup
1 cup water
2-3 drops food
coloring
1/4 tsp. flavoring
extract
Cooking spray
Instructions:
Spray 2 15x10x1 inch pans and set aside. In saucepan combine sugar, corn syrup, water and food coloring. Cook, stirring constantly over a medium heat until boiling. Cook without stirring until candy thermometer reads 300 degrees (the hard-crack stage). Remove from heat and stir in flavoring. Immediately pour into prepared pans to cool. Break into pieces. Yields about 2 pounds of candy.
Tip: If you forget to treat the pans before pouring in the syrup, don't worry. The sheet of candy will release if you heat the bottom of the pan on the stove for a minute or two. Pry it up and then hold it up while it cools, then shatter it.
Be aware: This syrup will reach 300 degrees. Take all precautions to prevent spills.
