INSTRUCTIONS
From: Glenn/Sharon Gorman <Ranger@Halcyon.com> Date: Tue, 4 Oct 1994 17:12:53 GMT Combine fruit pectin, water and baking soda in a medium-size pan. (Note, mixture will foam). Combine sugar and corn syrup in large saucepan. Place both saucepans over high heat. Cook, stirring alternately until foam disappears from fruit pectin mixture and sugar mixture boils rapidly for 5 minutes. Pour fruit pectin mixture into boiling sugar mixture in a thin stream until all pectin is added. Boil, stirring constantly 1 minute longer. Remove pan from heat. Stir in extract and a few drops of coloring. Immediately pour mixture into and 8x8x2 inch pan. For fancier shapes spoon mixture into tart or similar little pans. Allow to stand at room temperature (do NOT refrigerate) about 3 hours or until candy is cool and firm. Cut gum drop mixture into fancy shapes with small cutters or into cubes with a knife dipped in warm water. Roll in granulated sugar. Makes about 1 1/4 pound. NOTE: Use following substitutions for different color/tastes: green ones: substitute oil of anise for strawberry extract and greed food coloring for red. yellow ones: substitute oil of lemon and yellow food coloring red ones hot ones: substitute oil of clove for strawberry extract REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES /CANDY From rec.food.cooking archives.
