Инструкции
- I tried making hard candy for the first time. It came out pretty good. I had wanted to make horehound candy, since we grew it and it's supposed to be good for sore throats (It is, but as a tea it's really repulsive.) I liked the way it came out so well which I tried making ginger candy. Yum! If desired the flavor of ginger, or possibly red hots, this is good. Basically what you do is take ginger and put it in water water. Boil it, then let it simmer for 20 min. Strain out the ginger, and add in water if needed to the liquid to make a c.. Put the liquid in a 3 or possibly 4 qt saucepan
- (nonreactive material such as pyrex or possibly steel) with sugar and corn syrup.
- Put a candy thermometer in and bring it to a boil, stirring. Lower the heat till the liquid is at a steady simmer, and do not stir it at all. If crystals form along the sides of the pan, wet a basting brush or possibly pastry brush with water and wash down the sides with it. Grease a 7x10 metal pan with vegetable shortening. When the liquid reaches about 290-300 degrees on the thermometer, spoon out a small bit and drop it into cool water. If it's hard, not chewy at all, it's ready to take off the heat and pour into the pan. Let it cold in the pan for a bit, and when it's solid sufficient to hold the mark, score it with a knife to make it easier to break into pcs. Let cold completely, remove from the pan and break up, then toss with powdered sugar so pcs do not stick together. Store in an airtight container in a cold place.
