This is a recipe I have perfected over the years...and it is so darn easy and fast compared to the old boil to hard ball stage recipes ...I just made 3 different kinds of flavors and it takes about 10 minutes per flavor....follow the directions exactly...and be careful and use oven mits.. UPDATE: Microwaves vary so be sure to get a good boil especially the first time. In my new microwave it takes 4 minutes each step in microwave. Also the flavoring you should use the whole 1 dram. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1 cup light corn syrup |
1 teaspoon lorann flavoring oil (1 dram) |
food coloring (optional) |
Directions:
1. Use a good heavy glass bowl such as a pyrex brand. Grease a 11 X 15 inch jelly roll pan. Mix sugar and corn syrup into microwave safe glass bowl. Cover with plastic wrap such as Saran Wrap tightly.
2. Microwave on high for 3 minutes. Take out carefully, remove plastic wrap and stir. Put on a new piece of plastic wrap and microwave another 3 minutes. Take out carefully and stir again. Put on another new piece of plastic wrap and microwave another 3 minutes - Take out again, remove plastic wrap, add oil carefully and food coloring if using and stir - pour into your greased jelly roll pan and spread out onto sheet - you can sprinkle powdered sugar over top if desired - place in a cool place to harden - after it hardens break up into pieces and store in airtight container - Enjoy - .
