| Essential Easter Candy by Chris Ziegler |
Each of these recipes makes enough candy to share freely: CITRUS DROPS Ingredients 1. With a candy thermometer in the pan, boil the first three ingredients together on medium low heat, until the mixture reaches soft ball stage (125 degrees) - you will notice it become a pale yellow. 2. Remove from the heat and add lemon essential oil to taste. 3. Turn out onto an oiled marble work surface. Sprinkle the additional 1 tsp. of Cream of Tartar onto the hot candy. 4. When cool enough, knead thoroughly. Form into thin rolls. 5. While still workable, cut into small pieces with a sharp straight edge knife or scissors and shape sweets by hand. Candy gets hard fast, cut quickly! 6. Toss with confectioner’s sugar and allow candies to harden completely.
