Cinnamon Glass Candy
Ingredients:
100% pure cinnamon oil (You can use the brand NOW or any other brand out there, but make certain you don't use any mix, because the cinnamon comes out odd and weak.)
2 cups sugar
3/4 cup corn syrup
1 cup water
Red food colouring
Powdered sugar
Directions:
In a medium sauce pan, add sugar, corn syrup, and water. Place over medium heat, stir until sugar is dissolved. Lower heat and cook without stirring to 300 degrees.
Add food coloring and cinnamon oil (about 3/4 tsp). Stir in well. Pour out onto a powdered sugar cookie sheet and cool. Shatter into pieces.
