Hard Candy Making

When making Hard Candy always test your thermometer before making your recipe.

When candy is at the desired temperature and you are ready to add the color or flavoring oil, always add the color or flavoring in 2 equally divided amounts, in 2 steps.  The first addition may mostly cook out.  The second will give you the more distinct flavor, as the syrup will have cooled slightly.

Try not to stir excessively when adding the flavor and/or color or the resulting candy will be cloudy, not clear as desired.

Generally, it is recommended that you spray your molds for hard candy making.  It is a good idea to taste your spray.  Some sprays do not taste as good as others.  Also, if a spray has stood for a period of time, it could become rancid.  This will affect the taste of your candy .

Hard Candy is very susceptible to humidity.  Humidity will make your candy become sticky and it may eventually melt to a syrup.  Therefore, you need to wrap the candy well and put it in an airtight container.
