Old-fashioned hard candy appeals to old and young alike. Everyone is thrilled with the awesome raspberry flavor.Joe Caden, Sutton, West Virginia Ingredients:
1 teaspoon butter |
3-3/4 cups sugar |
1-1/2 cups light corn syrup |
1 cup water |
2 teaspoons raspberry extract |
8 to 10 drops neon purple food coloring |
Directions:
1. Line a 15-in. x 10-in. x 1-in. pan with foil. Grease the foil with butter; set aside.
2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup and water. Cook and stir over high heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage). Remove from the heat. Stir in extract and food coloring. Immediately pour into prepared pan without scraping the saucepan (do not spread mixture).
3. Cool for 1-2 minutes or until candy is almost set. Using a sharp knife, score into 1/2-in. squares; cool completely. Break squares apart. Store in an airtight container. Yield: about 2 pounds.
