Yummy Santa Tested Candy
Crystal Cut Candy
2 Cups Sugar
½ Cup Water
½ Cup Light Corn Syrup
Dash of salt
A Few drops of food coloring and 2-3 teas. Of Watkins Extracts.
Combine sugar, syrup, water and salt. Bring to a boil
over medium heat. Cook until thermometer reads 275 degrees. If mixture starts to turn
dark, remove from heat. Add food coloring, extracts / flavors and allow to set for a few
seconds before stirring. Mix well. Pour out on jelly roll pan (cookie sheet with sides).
Be sure to spray pan with Watkins Cooking Spray before pouring mixture onto it. After
candy hardens, you can break apart in small easy-to-eat thin pieces. (OPTIONAL: You may
coat candy with powdered sugar if desired - may prevent candy pieces from sticking
together in storage). MAKES 1 BATCH PER FLAVOR. Suggested Extracts & Flavorings
include: Caramel, Peanut Butter, Banana, Coconut, Lemon, Strawberry, Orange, Peach,
Peppermint, Pineapple, Lime, Cherry and Raspberry. Other extracts / flavorings could be
used depending on what you like. Makes great gifts packaged up in decorator tins!! Enjoy!!
* Mrs. Santa only uses Watkins Extracts. To use other
brands double the quantity. |
