2 c. sugar
2/3 c. light corn syrup
3/4 c. water
Flavorings & colorings

Measure 2 cups sugar, 2/3 cup light corn syrup and 3/4 cup water into saucepan and blend together. Place over low heat and stir until mixture boils. Cover the saucepan for 5 minutes so that any sugar crystals that have formed on the sides of the pan will be washed down. Put in the thermometer and let the candy boil without stirring. Use a pastry brush and wash off any crystals. After candy reaches 280 degrees, lower heat so not to burn. When candy thermometer registers 300 degrees, remove pan from heat and allow to stand until all the bubbles simmer down. Then add flavoring and coloring. Stir in flavoring and coloring gently; too much stirring will cause the syrup to solidify into a hard lump. Pour into lightly oiled molds and allow to thicken. Now insert sticks making lollipops.
