Cinnamon Hard Candy
This recipe is a Christmas favorite of mine. Makes your house smell wonderful when making.
2 cups sugar
1/4c water
2/3 c white syrup
1 small bottle of cinnamon oil (purchase at most pharmacies)
Using a candy thermometer cook to 250 degrees or SOFT CRACK. Oil is added when all the other ingredients have reached the proper temperature.Add red food coloring and stir. DON'T LET THE HOT STEAM get in your face. This is really strong smelling!
Pour out on a sheet pan that has been buttered. Let cool and crack with a knife, or if you choose you can cut it WARM with kitchen shears.
Put in a plastic bag with abut half a cup of powdered sugar. Shake to coat. Sift to remove excess powdered sugar. Makes a great gift in a decorative jar.

I've been trying to find this recipe for a couple of years, finally I asked a friend and she gave me directions to find it on the web. I'll really enjoy it, I love to keep it all year long. Thanks
