Our home economists use cinnamon sticks as holders for cute little lollipops that can be enjoyed alone or stirred into cider. Ingredients:
1-1/2 cups sugar |
3/4 cup water |
2/3 cup corn syrup |
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar |
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon oil |
30 cinnamon sticks (5 inches) |
Directions:
1. Using a pencil, draw ten 2-in. ovals on three sheets of parchment paper. Place paper, pencil mark side down, on baking sheets; chill until ready to use.
2. In a large heavy saucepan, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and cream of tartar. Cook and stir over medium heat until sugar is dissolved. Bring to a boil. Cook, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 325° or mixture is a golden amber color.
3. Remove from the heat; stir in oil (keep face away from mixture as oil is very strong). Immediately ladle mixture over ovals; press a cinnamon stick into each. Cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 1 month. Yield: 2-1/2 dozen.
