Yield: 1 batch

2 1/2 c Sugar

1 c ;Water

8 square pan and lace about strings from one side to the other. Place the laced pan in a pan deep

enough to catch any leaking syrup. Dissolve sugar in water and cook

247-252 degrees

into laced pan. It should reach a level about 3/4 above the strings.

Cover the surface with a piece of foil. Watch and wait. The syrup

sometimes takes a week to crystallize. Lift out the laced pan. Cut the

strings and dislodge the rock candy. Rinse quickly in cold water and put

on racks in a very low oven to dry.
