Stained Glass Candy I

SUBMITTED BY: Lisa 

"This candy is good any time of the year but it's especially festive at Christmas! Vanilla, lemon or walnut extract can be easily substituted for almond to add a little variety to your candies."

INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 cup water
  • 3 1/2 cups white sugar
  • 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
  • 1 tablespoon almond extract
  • 1 tablespoon red food coloring

DIRECTIONS

  1. Lightly grease one 12x18 inch or larger baking sheet.
  2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar and corn syrup. Heat over high, stirring constantly with a heat resistant spoon, until all sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring and bring to a boil. Boil until a candy thermometer reads 310 degrees F (154 degrees C). Remove from heat.
  3. When bubbling has ceased, stir in the flavoring and a food coloring. Spread into the prepared pan so that the candy is no more than 1/4 inch thick. Cool for 45 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator, crack into pieces and enjoy!
