Stained Glass Candy I

Ingredients

• 1 cup water
• 3 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon almond extract
• 1 tablespoon red food coloring

Directions

Lightly grease one 12×18 inch or larger baking sheet.

In a large heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar and corn syrup. Heat over high, stirring constantly with a heat resistant spoon, until all sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring and bring to a boil. Boil until a candy thermometer reads 310 degrees F (154 degrees C). Remove from heat.

When bubbling has ceased, stir in the flavoring and a food coloring. Spread into the prepared pan so that the candy is no more than 1/4 inch thick. Cool for 45 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator, crack into pieces and enjoy!
