STAINED GLASS CANDY
This recipe gives you two variations-green-colored candy with wintergreen flavor and red-colored candy with cranberry flavor. I like to make both because they look so pretty together on a tray. -Karolin Kershner, Barrington, Illinois

STAINED GLASS CANDY I
This candy is good any time of the year but it's especially festive at Christmas! Vanilla, lemon or walnut extract can be easily substituted for almond to add a little variety to your candies.

BEAUTIFUL STAINED-GLASS HARD CANDY
This was one of the first candy recipes I ever made. These candies are crystal clear and can be used as decorations for a Christmas tree or a window. Cooking and prep times are approximate, and don't include making your own molds if you wish to do that.

Steps:
- To make your own molds from foil: Cut aluminum foil in desired shapes: stars, trees, etc. Grease foil lightly with vegetable oil. Fold up edges to make 1/2" sides. Seal corners with freezer tape to prevent leaks.
- You can also pour this candy onto a greased cookie sheet to make your own shapes. Score the candy while it's still warm (be careful not to burn your fingers) so you can break it on the score lines. I've even used mint containers as molds.
- To make the candy: In a 2-quart saucepan combine sugar, syrup, water and vinegar. Cook, stirring constantly until the sugar is dissolved. Continue cooking, without stirring, until it reaches the hard crack stage (300F degrees).
- Remove from the heat, stir in the flavoring and color. Allow the candy to cool SLIGHTLY. Pour the candy into prepared molds, about 1/8" deep. When firm, remove from the molds.
- If you wish to hang the finished candy on a string or ribbon: when the candy begins to set (before it hardens) use a skewer to make holes for stringing.
- If candy becomes too firm to pour and shape it, then remelt it over low heat. Be careful not to boil it.
- Tips for other color combinations: Use a toothpick to swirl food coloring through the uncolored candy after it's been poured into molds. Make molded candies of one color and dribble with a second color to get a "stained glass" effect. To store candy ornaments, wrap them in plastic wrap and store in a covered container at room temperature in a dry place. Keep them flat to prevent warping.

Tips:
- Use a variety of hard candies to create different colors and patterns in your stained glass candy.
- Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture, or it will become too thick and difficult to work with.
- If the sugar mixture becomes too thick, add a little bit of water and stir until it reaches the desired consistency.
- Work quickly when pouring the sugar mixture onto the baking sheet, as it will start to harden quickly.
- Use a sharp knife to score the sugar mixture before breaking it into pieces, this will help to prevent it from cracking.
- Store the stained glass candy in an airtight container at room temperature.
Conclusion:
Stained glass candy is a beautiful and delicious treat that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover hard candies and it is also a fun and easy project to do with kids. With a little bit of patience and creativity, you can create stunning stained glass candy that will impress your friends and family.
