Prep:  20 minutes                    Cook:  45 minutes

Cook:  35 minutes                   Makes:  18 to 20 lollipops

Ingredients

2 cups sugar

¾ cup light-colored corn syrup

1 tablespoon butter

½ teaspoon apple flavoring oil or ¼ teaspoon blackberry flavoring oil

2 drops green or 6 drops purple gel food coloring

Lollipop sticks

Method

1.                  In a medium saucepan bring 1 cup water to boiling.  Stir in sugar, syrup, and butter.  Cook and stir over medium-high heat until mixture boils (about 7 minutes).  Clip candy thermometer to side of pan.  Reduce heat; continue boiling at a moderate, steady rate, stirring occasionally, until thermometer registers 300°F hard-crack stage (45 to 50 minutes).
