CANDY APPLES
1/4 teaspoon red food coloring
1 cup sugar 1 cup white corn syrup
1/2 cup water 4 wooden skewers
Wash and stem apples. Mix sugar, water, coloring and syrup in a boiler over
moderate heat. Stir until ingredients are well mixed and begin to boil.
Cook to 250 degrees F. or until a hard, yet flexible thread is formed when
some of the syrup is dropped in cold water.
Remove syrup from heat and dip apples, turning them to completely cover. Insert a skewer in each and lift out. Cool on wax paper.
