Does anyone have a recipe to make rock candy?

Answer 1

You will need:
1 Glass jar or drinking glass
1 Piece of cotton string
1 Pencil or stick
1 Paper clip
1 Food coloring (optional)
1 c Water
2 c Sugar
Additional sugar
Tie a short piece of cotton string to the middle of the pencil or stick. Attach a paper clip to the end of the string for a weight.
Moisten the string very lightly, and roll in a bit of sugar (this will "attract" the sugar crystals from the syrup to the string). Place the pencil or stick over the top of the glass or jar with the string hanging down inside.

Heat the water to boiling, and dissolve the 2 cups of sugar into it. For the biggest crystals FAST, heat the sugar-water solution a SECOND time, and dissolve as much additional sugar as you can into it. Add a few drops of food coloring to the solution if you want colored candy.

Pour the solution into the prepared glass or jar and leave undisturbed for a couple of days. Depending on how much sugar you were able to dissolve into the water, you should start to see crystals growing in a few hours to a few days.

Rock Candy Recipe





1 8-inch square pan (Note: this pan will be ruined for anything else in the future.)
Butcher's twine
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup water
Sugar thermometer

Punch holes at the top edge of a thin 8-inch square pan so that you will be able to lace 7 strings from one side of the pan to the other. Place the laced pan in a pan deep enough to catch any leaking syrup.
Dissolve 2 1/2 cups of sugar in 1 cup water and cook without stirring to the hard-ball stage, 247 degrees to 252 degrees. Pour the syrup into the laced pan. It should reach a level about 3/4-inch above the strings. Cover the surface with a piece of foil.

Watch and wait. The syrup may take as long as a week to crystallize.

Lift out the laced pan. Cut the strings and dislodge the rock candy. Rinse quickly under cold water and put on racks to dry in a very low-temperature oven.

Answer 3

a million a million/2 c. white sugar a million c. water Dissolve sugar interior the water and cook dinner without stirring until blend reaches 247 to 252 on candy thermometer. Have a reusable foil 8 inch sq. pan waiting. to coach the pan, punch holes on the right edge of it and then lace approximately seven strings from one element of the pan to the different element. String ends will stick out of pan at outdoors perfect on the two factors, yet will lay on backside of pan interior. place this pan in an better pan to capture extra syrup. Pour syrup into laced pan to a level of three/4 inch above the strings. conceal the exterior with a chew of aluminum foil. verify the candy each now and then. This quantity would take a week to crystallize, looking on humidity. whilst crystallized, decrease the strings and dislodge the rock candy from the pan. Rinse candy quickly in chilly water and then place on racks in an exceedingly low oven (a hundred seventy five ranges) until dry.

Answer 4

Actually its not that hard...
first you boil two cups of water then add a cup of sugar. let the sugar dissolve into the water add food coloring if you want.poor the water mixture out into some plastic cups then take some string (kite string works best) and tie it to the pencil and tie a paper clip to the end of the string so where the paper clip is a little bit in the water then wait. It takes a while. but its worth it.
