Ingredients
• Vegetable oil cooking spray
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tablespoons glucose or corn syrup
• ¼ cup water
• 1 tablespoon citrus zest (lime, lemon, or pink grapefruit)
• 1 small drop gel-paste food coloring (such as yellow, green, or pink)
• Lollipop molds
• Lollipop sticks
• Candy thermometer
Instructions
1. Lightly coat your lollipop mold with cooking spray, and place
lollipop sticks in the grooves.
2. Bring the sugar, glucose (or corn syrup), and water to the boil in a
small saucepan over medium-high heat. Heat until the candy thermometer
registers 300F.
3. Remove from the heat and carefully stir in citrus juice and food
coloring with a rubber spatula. Transfer the mixture to a liquid
measuring cup, and let the bubbles settle a bit, about 10 seconds.
4. Slowly pour the mixture into the prepared lollipop molds. Let the
mixture cool (about 30 minutes) before removing from the molds. Store in
an airtight container until you want one.
