Yield Makes 4 large or 16 small lollipops

Number Of Ingredients 7

Vegetable oil cooking spray, for molds
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons glucose or corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoons citrus juice (such as lime, lemon, or pink grapefruit)
1 tablespoon citrus zest (such as lime, lemon, or pink grapefruit)
1 small drop gel-paste food coloring (such as green, yellow, or pink)

Steps:

  • Lightly coat large or small round lollipop molds (hard candy) with cooking spray, and place lollipop sticks in grooves. Bring sugar, glucose, and water to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat until a candy thermometer registers 300 degrees. Remove from heat, and carefully stir in citrus juice and zest and food coloring with a rubber spatula. (Mixture will steam and bubble when liquid is added. Be careful, and make sure zest is distributed evenly and not in clumps.) Transfer mixture to a liquid measuring cup, and let bubbles settle slightly, about 10 seconds.
  • Slowly pour mixture into prepared lollipop molds. Let cool, until lollipops harden, about 30 minutes. Remove lollipops from molds.

These lollipops are really good, but they're a bit too sweet for me. I think I'll reduce the amount of sugar next time.

I had trouble getting the lollipops to harden. I think I didn't cook the sugar syrup long enough.

These lollipops are a bit too tart for my taste. I think I'll use less citrus zest next time.

These lollipops are a great way to use up extra citrus zest. I always have a bunch of lemons and oranges on hand, so it's nice to have a recipe that uses the zest.

I'm not a big fan of citrus flavors, but these lollipops were surprisingly good. The sweetness of the sugar balances out the tartness of the citrus.
