Title: Hard Candy
Categories: Candies
Servings: 1
---------------STIR TOGETHER BEFORE HEATING---------------
2 c cane sugar
2/3 c light Karo
3/4 c water
1 t oil flavor* & color
1 t or more citric acid**
Have color/flavor/citric acid ready when finished
cooking! *More or less, some flavors are stronger than
others. **Put citric acid in fruit-flavored candies
for tartness. TEST YOUR THERMOMETER EVERY DAY! To
test: Place it in cold water & bring to boil. If water
boils at- say 210 instead of 212, reduce cooking time
2 degrees. ***I use a TAYLOR thermometer. Wilton sells
them now. Spray *PAM in molds & on surface. Not too
much & only once per session.
USE A THIN PAN, NOT HEAVY! Candy must set a few
minutes in the pan & the temp will rise, burning the
candy in a thick pan.
Bring mixture to boil. Put lid on for 3 minutes <to
wash down sugar crystals>, add thermometer & DON'T
STIR. When therm. reaches 285-290D. remove pot from
stove.Wait for temp. to lower below 260^ before adding
color/flavor/citric acid. <Will cook flavor out if too
hot.> Cover pan after adding citric acid so it won't
fade the taste. I add about 2 ts citric acid.
DON'T STIR! Use the tiny viles of Lorann oils.
Avail. in cake supply shop or drug store.
I pour the cooked candy into a GUTTMAN candy funnel
<holds entire recipe.> Thats the quickest way to get
it in molds befor it cools & hardens. *Of course,
spray funnel! I pour some into molds & the rest onto
my marble slab. The part on the slab: I roll it into a
long cylinder & cut into "pillows" w/scissors.
Dust finished candies with powdered sugar so they won't
"melt" together.
There is one very nice sucker mold. It is a white ring
w/ a slit for the stick. <Don't spray stick.> All you
do is spray mold, add stick, fill w/candy, cool &
remove easily Comes in 2-3 sizes, round or
heart-shaped. I beleive it is Guttman Brand &
available here at Sugarcraft. About 2 dz in a pack.
This is my kids favorite Christmas candy. You will
want to make several flavors. Experiment on how-much
flavor. All vary. *Don't add too much on the mints.
Takes more on the cherry/strawberry/lemon/orange, etc.
There are at least 50 oil flavors available to choose
from! Shared by Dolores McCann, Hamilton OH

Title: Basic Creme Center
Categories: Candies Base/mix
Servings: 1
-----------------------MIX TOGETHER-----------------------
2 1/2 lb Dry Candy Fondant
1 c butter
---------------------------ADD:---------------------------
1/2 c Whipping cream
Mix first 2 ingred. & let set overnight <or for several
hours> tightly covered. Add cream & whip with heavy
duty mixer or by hand. Divide dough into separate
bowls. <I divide into 3>.
Makes nice batch of each. For each bowl, add
whatever color/flavor, etc you like. Below are some
ideas: Vanilla cremes: add vanilla ****to taste.
Chocolate cremes: add melted dark chocolate to taste.
Mint center: add drops of peppermint oil & pink
coloring. Black Walnut center: add drops black walnut
oil & bl walnuts. Peanutbutter cremes: add smooth or
crunchy peanut butter. Pineapple cremes: add drops
pineapple oil, chopped candied pineapple & chopped
pecans. Jelly: add fruit "flavored" jelly into
candy mold with matching flavored oil w/creme
center.
Nut center:
wrap creme center mix around a nut meat as filling;
dip in white/tinted, or milk chocolate. Chocolate
covered cherries <cream type:> wrap creme center mix
around a well-drained marachino cherry...be sure the
cherry is SEALED in the dough, chill & dip in choc.*
Be sure to dip as soon as removing from fridge. The
acid in the cherry causes it to start cordialing
<liquifying> quickly. Will liquify some, but some
will remain "creamy" because of the butter.
Coconut cremes: add maccaroon coconut & drops or
coconut oil For any dipped cremes:
Form 1" balls, let crust over & dip in compound coating
chocolate. This is also called "dipping chocolate."
I prefer the brand "Merckens." It seems to take more
abuse/ reheating, or getting too hot, etc.

This has been a never-fail recipe for me. The only

better have someone to help you drop the candy before
it gets too hard.

Title: Hints For Using a Candy Thermometer
Categories: Candies
Servings: 1
------------------CANDY CLASS, SUGARCRAFT------------------
...Learn all the secrets of really GREAT candy making!
*The first thing that should be done each day, before
you start, is to TEST YOUR THERMOMETER! To do: immerse
therm. in cold water. Bring to a boil.
At sea level water boils at 212 degrees <on a sunny
day.> If your water boils at 210 degrees, you should
reduce the cooking time by 2 degrees. Most of the
time, water boils here about 208 d. Try not to cook
candies on a rainy day. The barometric pressure, when
the air is heavy, holds the mercury in your
thermometer down. "Make candy when the sun shines,"
motto of a good candy maker. *I recommend a TAYLOR or
WILTON thermometer. Use a thin (good quality) pan for
candies that MUST STAY IN THE PAN for any length of
time for cooling. If you leave the thermometer in the
pan, you may notice the temp. rising even after the
candy is removed fro the stove. Using a heavy pan,
your candy will burn, in this case. Use a HEAVY
PAN for fudges, fondants, etc., that are to be dumped
immediately. Dolores McCann, OH-- teacher.

Title: Cooked Fondant
Categories: Candies
Servings: 20
5 c sugar
1 c Coffee Rich or Half & Half
1 c cream (no sub!)
4 tb margarine or butter
1/2 t Cream of Tartar
Combine butter, sugar, Coffee Rich, cream & Cream Of
Tartar in a heavy saucepan. Stir until sugar is well
moistened. Place on high heat. Bring to boil then
cover mixture for 2-3 minutes (to prevent sugar
crystals from forming). Uncover & place thermometer in
boiling mixture. COOK WITHOUT STIRRING. Wipe any
crystals from sides of pan. Cook to exactly 236
degrees. Immedietely pour out onto a marble slab.
When heat is no longer coming from the mass of
candy...test it with your finger tips or wrist...when
the dents made with your fingers remain for a little
time instead of filling in immedietely & candy is luke
warm, candy is ready to work. Work fondant with candy
paddle until it sets up. Allow it to rest 15 minutes,
covered. Then knead it until perfectly smooth. Like
magic, the "crumbs will turn to wonderful creamy candy!
Form into a ball, place on Saran wrap & into a bowl
that can be tightly sealed.
This fondant is best if kept a day or so before
using, but may be used I Hints: For stiffer fondant,
cook 1-2 degrees more. Freezing makes it sticky.
