Boil, without stirring, until temperature reaches 310 degrees, or until drops of syrup form hard brittle threads in cold water. Remove from heat.

 Sharon Bouchard (California) says:
I just made this recipe and am stunned that there is absolutely no taste of clove. I used 1 tsp. of clove extract, as specified, but it was not enough to even detect although the extract itself is a new bottle and very potent. The candy set up fine but this recipe needs a lot more than 1 tsp. of flavoring.
