Directions:
In a heavy pan, combine sugar, water and syrup. Cook, stirring, until mixture boils. Put on the lid to melt down crystals (about 1 min).

Remove cover and cook on moderate heat to 300º (buy a candy thermometer). Add 1/4 to 1/2 tsp oil flavoring and color as desired. Continue to stir until completely blended.

Pour onto buttered baking sheet. When cool, cut or break into pieces. Store flavors separately for 24 hours, then they can be stored together. Keeps forever!

*Suggestions for Oil Flavorings and Food Coloring
Cinnamon oil with red food coloring
Wintergreen or spearmint oil with green food coloring
Lemon oil with yellow food coloring
Orange oil with orange food coloring
Cherry extract (1 to 2 tsp) with red food coloring
Butter rum extract (2 tsp) with yellow food coloring
Anise oil with black food coloring (I've never devised a good black color- mine is more purple, mixing red and blue)

I remember Mom at the stove with her candy thermometer and the marble cooling slab on the counter. It was cool as a kid to watch the process. ~John
