Lollipop Ingredients
Method
Lollipop Preparation
Prepare the Mixture
In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar, corn syrup, and water. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves.
Cook the Syrup
Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil without stirring. Attach a candy thermometer to the saucepan and boil until the temperature reaches 300°F (hard crack stage).
Add Flavoring and Coloring
Remove the saucepan from heat. Once the bubbling has stopped, carefully stir in the flavoring extract and food coloring (if using).
Mold the Lollipops
Quickly pour the candy mixture into lollipop molds, filling them about three-quarters full. Insert lollipop sticks into the center of each mold.
Cool and Set
Allow the lollipops to cool completely at room temperature until hardened. Once set, remove them from the molds.
Store and Enjoy
Store the lollipops in an airtight container at room temperature. Enjoy your homemade Hammond’s Lollipops!
