Hard Candy (Christmas) 2 c Sugar
1 c Water
3/4 c Light corn syrup
Food coloring
Oil flavoring
Red - cinnamon
Blue - anise
Yellow - lemon or banana
Green - peppermint
Orange - orange
Cook sugar, water and corn syrup to 300 degrees (or until mixture
makes a hard boil and strings when dropped into cold water). Add
food coloring and oil flavoring of choice. Pour into a buttered
platter and cool 5 minutes. Cut into pieces with scissors. Roll each
piece in powdered sugar. (Note: If you let candy cool for entire 5
minutes, it will be too hard to cut.)
