HOMEMADE HONEY CANDY

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups melted honey
1 cup cream
1 cup sugar
butter (or butter-flavored cooking spray)

Steps:

  • Combine the first 3 ingredients and cook slowly on medium heat until it forms a hard ball when you drop it into ice water. It took me about an hour. As the mixture gets close to being done, the bubbles from the boil will get a lot smaller and closer together. Pour the mixture onto a buttered cooking sheet. When cooled, pull with buttered hands. Stretch, twist and pull until firm (this is the fun part! ;)) and then form into long ropes and place on waxed paper. Cut into bite size pieces. If you want, you can roll them in powdered sugar and wrap them in wax paper.

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, gently combine the sugar and water then add the honey and corn syrup. Boil until amber colored and the sugar looks like caramel. Add the baking soda, and with a wooden spoon, stir in gently. It will foam up a lot. Pour the mixture onto a silpat or a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan, and let cool. Break into pieces.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Do not stir the mixture while it is cooking: Stirring can cause the sugar to crystallize.
  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature: This will help you know when the mixture is ready.
  • Be careful when pouring the hot mixture: It can cause burns.
  • Allow the candy to cool completely before eating: This will help it to harden.
