Nothing says Christmas like candy canes.
Ingredients: (this made 15 decent size candy canes, filled one jar with small candies, and still had some left over)
700g sugar
300g glucose syrup (corn syrup)
1/3 - 1/2 cup of water
1 teaspoon of cream of tartar (can be left out if you can't find it)
1-2 teaspoons of peppermint extract/essence
Red food colouring
Will keep for a couple of days. Keep away from humid spots. I stored mine in the fridge :)
