Lollipops

I was blog hunting this morning, and came across this fantastic cooking idea. It is free form lollipops, and I found it here http://littlemommaandcompany.blogspot.com/2008/04/rain-less-rainbow.html . I was fairly sure I had all the ingredients, and was positive I had willing tasters, so I thought we'd give it a try. I got the candy mixture on the stove when I realized I had no candy thermometer. I called my sister in law, who seems to know how to remedy everything kitchen related, to ask her what do do. She read me instructions on how to tell what the candy should look like when it's ready to pour. I thanked her and continued on. We poured multiple colors on each pop and waited semi-patiently for them to harden. They came out beautifully, like stained glass. The recipe was super simple, and the only substitution I made was that I used lemon extract instead of orange. The site I made the discovery on is great, I am sure I will visit often.

We will definitely be trying this again, it was a lot of fun.
