ANISE CANDY
Making this old-fashioned anise candy has become an annual Christmas project for me since I first prepared this recipe at the home of a friend who made candy for a shop. To vary the recipe a little, you can substitute peppermint extract for the anise and green food coloring for red.-Jobyna Carpenter, Poulsbo, Washington

Steps:
- 1. Boil sugar, syrup and water until it forms a ball. Do not stir after adding anise oil and food coloring, just shake the pan. Do not scratch out pan, just let it run out and then you are through. When cool enough to handle, pull and form in finger like rope and cut into pieces.
Tips:
- To make the candy even smoother, use a candy thermometer to ensure that the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature.
- If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the syrup by dropping a small amount into a cup of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
- Be careful not to overcook the syrup, as this will make the candy too hard.
- If you want the candy to be extra flavorful, add a few drops of anise extract to the syrup.
- For a festive touch, decorate the candy with sprinkles, edible glitter, or chopped nuts.
- Store the candy in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
