Learn how make lollipops and how to make hard candy in this video tutorial.
Ingredients:
• 1 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup water
• 3/4 cup light corn syrup
• flavoured candy oils
• coloured gel pastes
Procedure
1. In a medium sized pot over medium heat, combine ingredients and stir until sugar has dissolved.
2. Increase temperature to med-high/high and insert a candy thermometer. Continue to stir candy mixture until the temperature reaches 300F-310F. Remove thermometer mixture and remove pot from heat.
3. Pour in a small amount of flavouring and colouring if desired.
4. To make lollipops, pour hot candy mixture into (temperature resistant to at least 350F) silicone molds. Insert lollipop sticks and hold in place until set.
5. To make hard candy, pour hot mixture onto a baking tray that is lined with parchment paper.
6. Allow hot candy to cool and set.
7. To break the flat candy slabs into chunks, simply bang the slab on the counter top, or try to break it apart with your hands. If you desire a sliced piece of candy, use a serrated knife to cut the candy into pieces.
8. To remove the lollipops from the silicone mold, press upwards from the bottom outside of the mold and the lollipop should come right out.
9. Store in a sealed container and serve when desired.
