Ingredients:
- 1 can (6 ounces) fruit pectin
- 3/4 cup water
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1-1/4 cups sugar, divided
- 1 cup light corn syrup
- 2 tsp orange extract
- Five drops each: red and yellow liquid food coloring
Instructions:
- Spray a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray; set aside.
- In a medium saucepan, combine pectin, water, and baking soda (the mixture may foam).
- In a large saucepan, combine 1 cup sugar and corn syrup. Cook over high heat for four minutes, or until the pectin mixture runs out of froth and the sugar mixture comes to a full boil (boiling that does not stop bubbling while stirring), stirring often in both saucepans.
- Gradually add the pectin mixture to the boiling sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Cook for about a minute, stirring.
- Remove it from the heat. Add food coloring to the extract.
- Pour the mixture immediately into the prepared pan. Let it stand at room temperature for three hours or overnight until the lollipop cools and hardens.
- Sprinkle 1 cup of the remaining sugar on a large piece of wax paper.
- Flip the candy onto the wax paper. Cut the fondant into 3/4-inch cubes, stopping occasionally to soak the knife in hot water.
- Toss the sugar and fudge until they are evenly coated.
- Apply the coating to the wire rack.
- Let it sit overnight at room temperature.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Enjoy!
