Lollipop sticks
Lollipops are best made on the day you wish to serve
them.
Place corn syrup, water and sugar in small saucepan,
stir over low heat until sugar is dissolved. Brush
sides of pan with a wet pastry brush to dissolve sugar
crystals. Increase heat, cook until syrup reaches 150
degrees C when tested with a sweets thermometer or
until syrup reaches hard crack stage. Remove from
heat, add a little flavouring and colouring to syrup,
stir through. Pour spoonfuls of mixture in desired
shapes onto foil-covered trays. Press a lollipop stick
into each shape; allow lollipops to cool at room
temperature.
Makes about 10.
Flavouring & Colouring Suggestions
For one batch of syrup add 1/2 teaspoon of raspberry,
orange, lime or lemon flavouring and 1/2 teaspoon of
red, orange, green, or yellow colouring. Mixture can
also be divided and flavoured and coloured, as
desired, to create multicolored lollipops.
