Ingredients:
Directions:
1
Combine the sugar, corn syrup, and water in a clean, dry small saucepan (preferably one with a pouring spout) fitted with a candy thermometer and bring to a boil over high heat
2
Without stirring, cook until the mixture reaches 305 degrees F or "hard crack" stage on the candy thermometer
3
(While the syrup is cooking, occasionally wash down the sides of the pan with a clean brush dipped in water, to prevent crystallization)
4
Meanwhile, stick the wooden skewers into the green ends of the strawberries
5
When the sugar mixture is done, remove the pot from the heat, and dip it into the ice bath for 15 seconds to stop the cooking
6
Add the extract and stir the mixture gently in both directions, but be careful not to over mix
7
Dip the berries in and stick the skewer into a pound of butter or block of styrofoam to cool and harden
8
Remove the skewers and serve within 5 hours
