    Title: Homemade Candy Canes
    Categories: Five, Candy
    Yield: 10 Canes

    2 c Sugar
    1/2 c Light corn syrup
    1/2 c Water
    1/4 ts Cream of tartar
    1 ts Peppermint extract
    1 ts Red food coloring

    In heavy-bottomed large saucepan or small pot, combine
    first 4 ingredients and stir until sugar dissolves.

    Cook, without stirring to hard-ball stage. (265ºF/130ºC)

    Remove from heat and add peppermint extract. Divide into
    two portions, and add coloring to one part. Pour out
    onto buttered cookie sheets. (Pour half onto one sheet,
    then add coloring to the rest and then pour onto second
    sheet.) when it's cool enough to handle, start pulling
    each part separately. (Best done with 2 people, but if
    doing alone, go back and forth pulling each.)

    When you feel like you just can't pull anymore, form
    into ropes and twist them together. Cut into 8" lengths,
    form into the shape of candy canes, and place on lightly
    buttered platter til fully hardened.
