Candy Making
Making candy at home can be a fun and even a special event. You can personalize candy, making it special for someone special! In addition, making your own gumdrops, lollipops, fudges, truffles or taffy can lead to tasty candies that taste better than "store bought".
i bto prevent crystallization. In Always dissolve sugar completely over a low heat ee addition, use a heat-safe spatula to scrape down the sides of your pan to get any Fr grains absorbed into the mixture. When the candy reaches the boiling stage, do not stir it until it is cool. Opposite the heating process, you never want to stir the candy nd during the cooling process. sa es Always use a reliable candytthermometer, checking your candy thermometer for i n in water and bring it to boiling. The thermometer accuracy. Do this by placing it F should read 212-degrees at the boiling point. To get an accurate reading, be sure the
thermometer stands upright in cooking mixture and the bulb does not rest on bottom of pan. Read it at eye level; watch temperature closely. After 200-degrees, temperatures go up very quickly. If the reading is too high or too low, take the difference into account when testing your temperature while making candy. If you don't have a thermometer, use the cold water test. Using a clean spoon, drop small amount of cooking mixture into a cupful of very cold water. Test hardness with fingers (see candy cooking test chart). If candy does not pass test, continue cooking. Repeat water test with clean water.

Turkish Taffy
Turkey (neither the country nor the bird) has nothing to do with Turkish taffy. The hot taffy is poured into a large flat pan to cool, then cut with scissors into squares OR frozen and cracked into pieces. Ingredients: 1 large egg white 2-1/2 cups sugar 1/2 cup water 1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar 1 cup orange marmalade 5 drops orange food coloring (optional) Butter or margarine for greasing the pan
Directions: Butter an 11 x 17-inch jelly-roll pan or cookie sheet with high edges. Line the pan with wax paper and butter the paper. Set the prepared pan aside.

Combine the sugar, water and cream of tartar in a large heavy pan. Place the pan over medium heat. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture comes to a boil. Clip a candy thermometer to the inside of the pan and cook without stirring until the syrup reaches 260 degrees (Hard Ball Stage). While the syrup is boiling, wash any sugar crystals down from the sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Add the marmalade and food coloring, if using. Stir until the marmalade completely melts into the syrup. Bring the syrup back

to a boil point until it reaches 260 degrees again. Don't worry about sugar crystals during this second boiling. Turn off the heat. Refresh the egg white with a quick beating---10 seconds on high is usually enough. Continue beating on high while pouring the hot syrup into the beaten egg white in a slow, steady stream. Allow the mixer to run until the bowl feels warm but not hot, 10 to 15 minutes. The mixture will be stiff. Using a long, narrow spatula dipped in water, spread the taffy onto the prepared pan, all the way to the edges. Place the pan in the freezer to let the taffy set up, about 1 hour. When the candy is cold and firm, use your hands to crack it into irregular pieces about the size of candy bars. Alternatively, allow the taffy to soften, then cut it into 4-inch squares using buttered scissors. Wrap each piece of taffy in wax paper and store them all in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for up to 1 month, or in the freezer for up to 3 months. This candy tastes best if you wait to eat it at least 24 hours after it is made. Yield: About 1-1/4 pounds
Variations: Apricot Turkish Candy: Substitute 1 cup apricot jam for the orange marmalade. Add 3/4 cup roughly chopped pistachio nuts (optional) to the mixer while the taffy is beating.

Use a small pastry brush to "paint" melted chocolate over the entire interior surface of baking cups. Freeze cups until chocolate dries. Recoat with chocolate and freeze again. When set, slowly peel foil from chocolate cups. If chocolate softens, refreeze. Store molds in freezer until needed. Slowly spoon tofu cream filling into chocolate cups so that the cups are 3/4 full. Keep refrigerated until ready to serve. If desired, pipe the filling into the cups using a pastry tube fitted with a fluted edge. These candies may be stored and served directly from the freezer.

Bark Candy
Ingredients: 2 cups (12 ounces) milk chocolate chips 1/2 cup (3 ounces) white chocolate chips 1/3 cups unblanched almonds, coarsely chopped (optional) Directions: Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. In top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, melt milk chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Remove pan from above the water. In top of a second double boiler set over barely simmering water, melt white chocolate chips; stir until smooth. Remove pan from above the water. Pour milk chocolate onto prepared baking sheet; spread to 1/4-inch thickness. Making lines parallel to 1 edge of pan, drizzle white chocolate over milk chocolate. Using a small spatula or knife, draw tip through both chocolates to create a marbled effect. If using almonds, sprinkle evenly over warm chocolate; press lightly onto surface.

corner. Let it cool until the bottom of the pan is barely warm to the touch, or about 110 degrees. This may take as long as an hour, so be patient. When the fudge has cooled down, start beating it with a spoon or whisk. Very quickly (sometimes less than a minute, sometimes a couple of minutes) it will start to lose it's glossy, shiny appearance on top. When it just begins to lose this reflective quality, immediately pour into pan. Shake the fudge in the pan to spread it evenly. Or if that doesn't work, try to spread it out with a spoon. Allow it to cool and harden, and then cut it into pieces.

Suggestions: Don't scrape the sides of the pan while you are making this recipe. The sugar on the sides of the pan will cause the whole batch to crystallize and it will still taste good, but have a grainy texture. I really recommend a candy thermometer for candy recipes. The cold water test is a skill that takes a lot of ruined batches to develop. This recipe makes about 2-1/4 pounds of fudge. Makes an excellent gift.
