- Spearmint Oil is a pure, natural essential oil and is used as a flavoring as well as in aromatherapy.
- A little goes a long way!LorAnn’s super strength flavors (also known as candy oils or flavoring oils) are three to four times the strength of water or alcohol-based flavorings or “extracts”.
- Use Natural Spearmint Oil In: Hard candy, general candy making, cakes, cookies, frosting, ice cream and a wide variety of other baking and confectionery applications.
- Note: When substituting these flavors for extracts, use ¼ to ½ teaspoon for 1 teaspoon of extract.
- Kosher certified
- Gluten-free
- Appropriate for use in chocolates and coatings (typical use is ¼ to ½ teaspoon per pound)
Basic Hard Candy
2 cups sugar
3/4 cups light corn syrup
3/4 cups water
1 tsp. oil flavor
Color
Spray molds with cooking spray.
In a saucepan, blend sugar, corn syrup and water.
Bring to boil over high heat, until mixture reaches 260˚.
Add food coloring but do not stir.
Continue cooking until temperature reaches 300°.*
Remove pan from heat. Allow to stand until bubbles have simmered down.
Add flavoring.
Too much stirring will cause syrup to solidify into a hard sugary lump.
*Temperature may need to be adjusted slightly. In southern Ohio I find that I need to remove from heat at 290° to keep candy from turning brown.
