How to make sweet lollipops? Video recipe
Lollipops are a favorite treat for children and adults. And how interesting it is to cook them yourself, and not buy them in the store. You can use a variety of natural additives to give your candy a taste that suits your taste.
Making simple sugar candies at home is very simple. Many sweet tooths, even in childhood, coped with the embodiment of this simple recipe. To create this dish you will need the following things: – 300 grams of sugar; – 100 grams of water; – molds (metal or silicone); – vegetable oil; – a saucepan with a thick bottom.
Mix water and sugar in a saucepan and put it on the smallest heat. Watch the mixture and stir constantly with a wooden spoon. You need to seize the moment when the sugar is completely dissolved in the water and the brew becomes a beautiful yellow-amber color. If you do not have time to remove the pan from the heat at this moment, the sugar will burn out and the candy will taste bitter; if you turn off the heat earlier, the candy will simply not solidify.
Pour the mass into pre-greased odorless vegetable oil tins. When the lollipops have hardened a little, insert the sticks. For these purposes, ordinary toothpicks or canapé skewers are suitable. Wait until the candies have completely hardened and cooled down, and you can feast on the dish.
Do not use enamel cookware for making candy
Sugar lollipops with berry juice
You can use fruit juice instead of water to make candy. Get a glass of freshly squeezed juice from raspberries, blackberries, cherries, strawberries and other gifts of nature (if you use sour berries, for example, cranberries, do not forget to increase the amount of sugar). Pour the juice into a saucepan, add two-thirds of a glass of sugar and simmer over low heat, stirring regularly. When the mixture turns reddish brown, add a little vanilla and cinnamon to the mixture, stir one last time, remove the mixture from heat and pour into molds.
If you wish, you can make lollipops with store-bought fruit juice, add nuts, honey, mint syrup, whole berries and other delicacies to them.
Both children and adults love sweets. The latter can prepare themselves a treat with the addition of alcohol. For these candies you will need the following products: – sugar; – water; – brandy; – powdered sugar.
Place 300 grams of sugar, 150 grams of water, a teaspoon of brandy and a tablespoon of powdered sugar in a metal saucepan, put on a low heat and stir continuously. When bubbles begin to float from the bottom of the pan, turn off the heat and pour the mixture into the molds.
