Cooking Recipe Peppermint Jelly Candy
Recipe Ingredients
Directions
For best results, follow the directions carefully to avoid
undercooking the mixtures. No candy thermometer is necessary for
this old-fashioned candy shop candy.
Line 8 inch square pan with foil, butter foil. In small saucepan,
combine water and pectin. Stir in baking soda. In medium saucepan,
combine 1 cup sugar and corn syrup. Cook both mixtures over high heat
until foam starts to disappear on pectin mixture and sugar mixture
comes to full rolling boil (one that cannot be stirred down), about 3
to 5 minutes,stirring both constantly. Slowly pour pectin mixture
into sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Continue to boil for 2
minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat; stir in peppermint
extract and food color. Pour into foil-lined pan. Cool until firm.
Remove candy from pan by lifting foil. With wet knife or
scissors,cut into small pieces or desired shapes. Roll in sugar.
Store loosely covered.
