Stained Glass Candy
4 cups granulated sugar, 1 3/4 cups light corn syrup, 1 cup
water, 1 TBSP desired flavored extract or flavoring oil.
Line a 15x11 inch baking pan with foil and lightly grease OR
sprinkle evenly with a light coat of powered sugar. set
aside.
In a medium pan, combine sugar and corn syrup with water and
cook over medium heat. Stir to dissolve sugar. Increase heat
and bring to a boil.
With a brush dipped in water, wash down any crystals that
form on the sides of the pan. Boil rapidly until candy
thermometer registers 300 F (150 C), hard-crack stage.
Immediately remove from heat and stir in flavor extract and
food color. Pour into prepared pan. Let cool completely.
When hard, remove from pan, break into pieces with a kitchen
mallet.
NOTE: for multiple flavors and colors, divide candy mixture
AFTER cooking; flavor and color each as desired, this makes
about 2 1/2 lbs.
This is the recipe I've used for years. It was given to me
by my grandmother.
