Holiday Favorites from UWA Staff part 3: Cinnamon Glass Candy

CINNAMON GLASS CANDY - Sandy Myers, Marketing/EMgt

Ingredients

1 cup water

3-3/4 cups sugar

1-1/4 cups light corn syrup

1 teaspoon red liquid food coloring

1 teaspoon cinnamon oil

Cinnamon Glass Candy

Sandy Myers, Marketing Director & Event Manager: "This recipe is a tradition in my family and is so easy to make! The hardest part is waiting for the sugar/syrup to cook long enough."

INSTRUCTIONS

Line a 15x10x1-in. pan with foil; butter the foil and set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine water, sugar, corn syrup and food coloring. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar is melted.

continue to cook on medium-high heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300° (hard-crack stage), about 25 minutes. Remove from the heat; stir in cinnamon oil (keep face away from the mixture as oil is very strong). Immediately pour onto the prepared pan. Cool completely, about 45 minutes.

Break the candy into pieces using the blunt edge of a butter knife, cracking the surface. Store in airtight container.
