 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.
