If you wouldn't mind, would you please share your recipe for hard candy? I think the batch size you made at the conference is that "just right" amount. Thanks again for sharing all your knowledge. Hope we see you next year!

Sure!  I use a pretty standard recipe:  4 cups sugar, 1 cup water, 2/3 cup corn syrup (or glucose).  Bring to 310 (hard crack). This is a hot/dry recipe.  

 

You can use more acid for decorations and such if it is to be used quickly, but you may get cold flow if you store it.  That recipe is 5 cups sugar, 1cup +2tbs water, and 3tbs vinegar, 1/2 cup corn syrup. Very similar to this...
