Old Fashioned Peppermint Candy
Ingredients:
2 cups sugar
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/2 cup water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
3/4 tsp peppermint oil
3/4 tsp to 1 tsp red food coloring
Blend together sugar, corn syrup, water and cream of
tartar. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Without stirring,
cook until the hard ball stage (265 degrees) on candy
thermometer). Remove from heat and add peppermint oil;
blend well. Divide into two portions. Add red food
coloring to one half of candy. Pour candy onto two
greased plates. Let cool. When cool enough to handle,
pull each apart separately. Form into ropes and twist the
white and red candy together. Cut into desired length.
I got this recipe from Tricia (at World of Christmas)
