This is a great recipe for those looking for a delicious hard candy without all the artifical additives, colors or preservatives that traditional store bought hard candy provides. We enjoy having hard candy on our outdoor adventures, especially on hard hikes. Climbing a high mountain pass is so much more enjoyable with a little energy boost. 🙂
Pomegranate hard candy!!
Love the shapes. No artificial color or flavors. We will use these backpacking for a quick energy boost
Ingredients
- 2 cups Organic Cane Sugar
- 1 cup Water
- 3/4 cup Organic Non-Gmo Corn Syrup
- 1 tsp Essential Oil
- 1 tsp natural food color (optional)
- Powdered sugar as needed.
Instructions
- Add ingredients to pan. Stir to 300-310 degrees hard crack stage. Take off heat add essential oil or flavor oil of your choice. Sometimes I will also added a tiny bit of beet powder that I added water to dehydrated to give candy a little color. Personally, I like the look of a more natural candy, but you can add other natural colors to appeal to children or personal preference. Stir pour in mold or in a cookie sheet. If using cookie sheet score it after about 15 minutes so you can break into that size pieces. Dust with organic powdered sugar to keep from sticking. Can make lollies or any shape you want based on personal preference.
