Lollipops Or Hard Candy

The illuminist seeks guidance from God by getting a series of impressions, which he believes come as God directly impacts his spirit. The illuminist is often wary of the mind and using his or her reason. Certainly we need to be cautious lest we fall into the error of blindly trusting bare unaided reason. The illuminist, though, often goes so far as to reject any hope that reason can be useful. “This doesn’t come from me,” he will say, “it comes from God.”

2	c	Granulated white sugar
3/4	c	Light corn syrup
1/2	c	Water
1		Entire small bottle Lorann
		flavoring

INSTRUCTIONS

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.
