How to make delicious lollipops

Delicious and healthy honey lollipops are an original, tasty homemade delicacy that will not only charge you with positive energy, but also help get rid of a cough. Make it easy. We will require 300 grams of natural honey, half a teaspoon of ginger and a little sugar if desired. The recipe is as follows:

• Pour honey into a saucepan. Add ground ginger to it. Such a composition is required to be cooked over low heat for two hours. Don't forget to stir from time to time.
• After two hours, we check the readiness. Take a small drop of the resulting caramel and drop it on a saucer. If the drop is frozen, then the product is ready. Pour it into silicone molds or any other. As a form, you can use small jars, bottle caps. It will harden within a few hours in the refrigerator.

Candy on a stick at home, as before

If you want something new and unusual, then try to make your own homemade cockerel from jam. We need 300 grams of any favorite jam (apple, apricot, pear), a pinch of chopped nuts and a little ground cloves, a mold. To prepare the candy, mix all the above ingredients. Boil the resulting mass until thickened (5-10 minutes). Place it in a special cockerel shape by sticking the sticks in. The dessert will harden in the refrigerator for a few minutes. We take it out of the mold and roll it in sugar, so it will look more spectacular.

Sugar and honey lollipops

Sugar and honey lollipops are very useful. To prepare such a delicacy, 25 grams of honey should be mixed with 400 grams of sugar, adding butter, 5 tablespoons of boiled water, currant syrup to taste. The resulting mass is cooked for 5-7 minutes on low heat. Pour the mixture into any shape. Do you want a colorful dessert? Just add dye.

Lollipops are a universally recognized delicacy not only for children, but also for many adults. You can easily prepare it at home - from sugar and water. To diversify the taste a little, instead of ordinary water, I use an infusion of herbs: chamomile, thyme, sage, rosehip and some others. This makes the lollipops even tastier and even healthier. Herbal sweets with the addition of ginger and lemon can treat a sore throat and save you from a cold. So in moderation, homemade sugar candies are very healthy! Not to mention the fact that they do not contain any preservatives and dyes.

So, to make delicious and healthy sugar candies at home, we need the following ingredients.

First, pour the herbs with hot water, add ginger and lemon slices. Let the decoction brew for 20-30 minutes.

After the specified time, strain the brewed herbs through a strainer.

Pour the liquid into a saucepan and add sugar. Let's put it on a small fire.

We are waiting for the sugar to completely dissolve and the water to boil. We cook the syrup over low heat for 30-40 minutes and admire the charming bubbles on its surface :)

When boiling syrup, it is important not to lose sight of one necessary step: be sure to add some kind of oxidizing agent to the boiling sugar water to prevent the sugar crystallization process in the future. It can be either a tablespoon of honey or a teaspoon of lemon juice. In addition, do not stir the mixture during cooking, in order to avoid particles of sugar hardened on the walls of the pan from falling into the syrup. Or gently wipe the walls with a damp cloth, removing the hardened sugar.

The syrup is cooked, it's time to form candies. With a teaspoon or dessert spoon, carefully spread the thickened caramel on foil or parchment. Sprinkle powdered sugar on top and leave the lollipops to cool and harden for 20 minutes.

After that, carefully separate the lollipops from the surface and roll in powdered sugar.

Store homemade sugar candies in dry conditions in a closed jar.

Bon appetit!

Description

Homemade lollipops- a sweet delicacy loved by everyone, without exception, from early childhood. Usually they are made in the form of cockerels, but at home you can make candies of any shape.

In our today's step-by-step recipe with a photo, we propose to give homemade candies the shape of hearts, because Valentine's Day is coming soon, and the heart is its main symbol. To prepare this themed dessert, no special efforts or complex products are required. The ingredients in it are the simplest, and the cooking process is simple. You just need to carefully monitor the caramel so that it does not burn and does not get on your hand (melted sugar burns very strongly). The rest you should be able to handle without difficulty.

We believe that these sweet hearts on a stick will soon become a romantic component of any celebration for you.

Let's start cooking!

Ingredients

• 
  (250 g)
• 
  (100 g)
• 
  (1/2 tsp)
• 
  (of necessity)

Cooking steps

We measure and put on the table all the necessary ingredients.



Pour water into a saucepan or saucepan and add granulated sugar. We warm the resulting mixture to 130 degrees. We check the temperature with a food thermometer, but if it is not there, we take a little syrup and drip it into a container with cold water: the resulting droplet should be formed, but soft.



We put natural flavoring (in our case it is raspberries in syrup) and red food coloring. We mix everything well and heat it up to 150 (a little more) degrees (this time a drop of syrup in cold water should become solid). We mix citric acid with water in a ratio of 1: 1 and add to the syrup. We mix again.



On a silicone mat or baking parchment (flatten the latter so that it does not roll up and spread lightly with vegetable oil), spread the caramel with a large spoon first in a circle, but when it begins to harden, give it a heart shape. If the caramel begins to thicken quickly in the saucepan, put it back on the fire for a few seconds - and it will melt (this can be done a couple of times).



Do not lay out the caramel mass on the parchment all at once. It will be enough for two rounds, to each of which a wooden skewer should be attached.



Keep in mind that just attaching a skewer is not enough. You also need to rotate it around the axis by 360 degrees so that the stick gently sinks into the caramel (this is very important, almost the main secret!).



Leave the finished lollipops to harden. And do not forget in the process to give them the desired shape.



Bon appetit and sweet Valentine's Day!
