In Daily History site I have mentioned about the history of Candy Cane, and many would have wondered how it can be made. Well I found a neat website for teachers that gives out the recipes to teach the kids how to make them.
Candy Cane Recipe
This is a great project to do with children.
1 cup sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1/8 tsp. cream of tartar
4 drops oil of peppermint or other flavoring
4 drops red or green food coloring
Grease a hard surface.
Simmer the sugar with the corn syrup, water and cream of tartar until the mix reaches a soft crack stage or about 280 degrees on a candy thermometer. Remove from the heat and add the flavouring.
Divide the syrup in half. Add food colouring to one half; pour out separately onto the greased surfaces. Cool for 1 to 2 minutes. Pull each half separately; roll into 1/2" thick ropes. Twist coloured batch around the white batch pulling until the colours adhere. Cut with scissors into 6" long lengths; bend to crook one end.
NOTE: You can find Wintergreen or oil of cinnamon to use as a flavouring. Work quickly to form candy canes or you can form knots.
