broken glass sugar

Ingredients

  • 2 c sugar
  • 1 c corn syrup
  • 1/4 tsp cream of tartar
  • 3/4 c water

Instructions

  • bring all ingredients to boil, stirring until boiling sugar dissolves
  • reduce heat to medium high and wait for the temp to rise to 290- 300 degrees, any less and it won't harden, you dont need to stir at this point, just let it do its thing
  • immediatly pour molten sugar into a rimmed sheet pan coated and tilt it to coat the entire pan
  • let it cool (for at least 2 hours), then crack it by slamming the sheet pan, to get pieces of broken, delicous "glass" to decorate all your morbid halloween confections! you must line where you insert the glass with red food coloring for maximum effect.
