Concord Foods Candy Apple Kit, 5 oz
Kit Complete with Sticks
You Will Need:
1 Candy Apple Kit
1 Candy thermometer
1 cup water
2½ cups of sugar
10 apples, 2½"-3" in diameter (clean, dry and free of wax)
Directions:
1. Mix contents of enclosed bag with water and sugar in a 2 qt. saucepan. Bring to boil. No stirring is required. Continue cooking with medium high heat.
2. Cook candy syrup to the hard crack stage (302°F on a candy thermometer*). Cook time is approximately 15-18 minutes from boil.
*If you don't have a thermometer. the hard crack stage is reached when a drop of syrup, dropped into cold water, hardens into a brittle thread.
3. While syrup is cooking, put sticks in up to 10 apples. Lightly grease a cookie sheet. When syrup is ready, remove from heat and dip apples. Store candy apples in a cool, dry place. Do not refrigerate.
Caution: Because of the high heat of the syrup, candy apple making should be done by adults only. When the syrup is above 200°F, do not add water. Do not pour syrup into drain. Spattering of hot syrup will occur and possibly cause severe burns to the skin.
Hints:
• To reduce bubbling of the candy coating, stir in 1/8 tsp of solid shortening just before you dip the apples.
• For easy clean-up, soak utensils in hot soapy water or fill candy coated pan with water, boil water until candy coating is dissolved.
