Time 15m

Yield 50 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons honey
1/3 cup corn syrup
4 teaspoons baking soda, sifted

Steps:

  • In a large saucepan, gently combine the sugar and water then add the honey and corn syrup. Boil until amber colored and the sugar looks like caramel. Add the baking soda, and with a wooden spoon, stir in gently. It will foam up a lot. Pour the mixture onto a silpat or a piece of parchment paper on a sheet pan, and let cool. Break into pieces.

HOMEMADE HONEY CANDY

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 cups melted honey
1 cup cream
1 cup sugar
butter (or butter-flavored cooking spray)

Steps:

  • Combine the first 3 ingredients and cook slowly on medium heat until it forms a hard ball when you drop it into ice water. It took me about an hour. As the mixture gets close to being done, the bubbles from the boil will get a lot smaller and closer together. Pour the mixture onto a buttered cooking sheet. When cooled, pull with buttered hands. Stretch, twist and pull until firm (this is the fun part! ;)) and then form into long ropes and place on waxed paper. Cut into bite size pieces. If you want, you can roll them in powdered sugar and wrap them in wax paper.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
  • Stir the mixture constantly: This will help to prevent the sugar from crystallizing.
  • Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature of the mixture: This is important to ensure that the mixture reaches the correct temperature for making candy.
  • Be careful not to overcook the mixture: Overcooking can cause the candy to become hard and brittle.
  • Let the candy cool completely before breaking it into pieces: This will help to prevent the candy from sticking to your hands.

Conclusion:

Homemade honey candy is a delicious and easy-to-make treat. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a candy that is sure to please everyone. Whether you are looking for a sweet snack or a special gift, homemade honey candy is a great option. Just be sure to follow the tips above to ensure that your candy turns out perfectly.
