Pink Peppermint Candy
2 cups sugar
1 cup light corn syrup
dash salt
1/2 cup water
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract
Combine sugar, syrup, salt and water in a saucepan. Heat slowly,
stirring constantly, until sugar dissolves, then cook, stirring,
until mixture reaches 300 on a candy thermometer (a tsp of syrup
will separate into brittle threads when dropped into cold water).
Stir in food coloring and extract until blended; remove from heat.
Drop from tip of a teaspoon onto well oiled cookie sheets to make
1 1/2 inch rounds,or spoon into well oiled 1 1/2 inch molds. If
syrup hardens while shaping drops, heat slowly until just melted.
Cool on cookie sheets or in molds until firm, then remove carefully
with spatula.
