Over the weekend we made Lollipops, the kids were so excited. Scott went to Orson Gygi (see gygi.com) to get the supplies we needed. It was fun and easy.
Old Fashion Lollipops
1 Cup Sugar
1/3 C Karo White Corn Syrup
1/2 C Water
Cook this on the Stove until it reaches 300 Hard Crack stage
Remove from heat and put 1 tsp. Flavoring and food coloring if needed.
Pour in to molds right away.
Grease your molds with Crisco and have them prepped and ready to go.
This recipe makes 10 suckers.
This has been a favorite summer salad for many years. I just made it and wanted to share it with you. We just had a wonderful rain storm, it was much needed and enjoyed. Well I’m getting hollered at, Scott is ready to hang some curtains up in Whitney's room.
