Recipe - Lollipops Or Hard Candy

2 cup Granulated white sugar
Three fourths cup Light corn syrup
One half cup Water
1 Entire small bottle Lorann
flavoring

Mix sugar, syrup, and water in a medium sized saucepan. Stir over medium
heat until sugar dissolves. Boil, without stirring, until temperature
reaches 300 degrees (hard crack stage) on a candy thermometer.

Remove from heat. After boiling has slowed, stir in flavoring and desired
coloring. Pour into lollipop molds that have been lightly sprayed with Pam.
Let set, then remove from molds (about 10 minutes)

For hard candy....Pour onto a cooky sheet that has been sprayed lightly
with Pam. Score while still warm. Let cool, then break into pieces. Coat
pieces with confectioners sugar.

Note: The Lorann flavoring is available at most drug stores. The cinnamon
and clove oil is used here in Virginia to make apple butter. The small
bottle contains .125 oz, and you use the entire bottle. It comes in
luscious, exotic flavors as well as the standard ones.

Yesterday I made strawberry, tangerine, plum, blackberry, raspberry, and
caramel flavored lollipops. I fixed five boxes to be mailed tomorrow, and
saved out 30 lollipops to take to my homeroom students at school. (Yes, I
let them eat in class!)
