Ingredients

Making lollipops from glucose syrup

Important! Before cooking the syrup, prepare everything for casting the candies, namely a silicone mat, skewers, and dye.

In a thick-bottomed saucepan, mix all the ingredients: sugar, glucose syrup and water. Place on medium heat.

From the moment it boils, cook the syrup over medium heat, stirring constantly, for 5-7 minutes.

Add dye if desired; I use dry or gel dyes. Add the amount of dye according to your preference, depending on the desired colors and shades.

It is very easy to check the readiness of the syrup; pour a glass of cold water and add a few drops of hot syrup to it. If you get a hard ball or a solid caramel thread, then the syrup is ready.

Important! You need to work quickly with hot syrup; if you heat the syrup a second time, the candies will become cloudy. And of course, be careful as the syrup has a high temperature.

We cast lollipops onto a silicone mat, immediately inserting a skewer. If desired, you can decorate with sprinkles. We wait until it hardens completely.

Glucose syrup lollipops look very nice on cakes. Choose harmonious colors and voila!

Multi-colored, sweet lollipops with different flavors are the favorite sweet of kids and adults. Their selection in the store is so wide that sometimes you can get confused in front of the counter. But making candy is not just the province of large confectionery factories. You can create a real caramel miracle with your own hands in your kitchen.

Bon appetit!

In Soviet times, people enjoyed making homemade sugar candies. Whether the reason for this was the absence of others on store shelves, or whether the naturalness of the resulting sweets was already valued, the fact remains that there were metal molds for candy in almost every home.

Of course, today interest in such a product has faded somewhat, but has not disappeared. Modern housewives not only make so-called “cockerels”, but also make adjustments to existing recipes, making them not only tasty, but also healthy.

Simple Sugar Lollipops

The tradition of making homemade sweets is being revived and today they are becoming more attractive. Indeed, unlike store-bought ones, they do not contain artificial colors, flavors, flavor enhancers and other, to put it mildly, unhealthy components.

If you suddenly want to make sugar candies with your own hands for the first time, then you should turn to the simplest recipe, which allows you to get excellent results without any skills.

For the lollipops you will need the following:

A glass of granulated sugar;

Warm water – 8–10 tablespoons;

A little vegetable oil, which is used to lubricate the mold;

Chopsticks, small wooden skewers are suitable for this;

A couple of pinches of citric acid (but you can do without this ingredient);

5-6 dessert spoons of 9% table vinegar.

In a small container (a ladle or a frying pan with high walls), you need to stir the sugar and water. According to the recipe, there should be 4 times more sugar than water. To prevent sugar from crystallizing, which leads to cloudy candies, add 3-4 drops of vinegar to the sugar mixture. For these purposes, you can use a small amount of citric acid, but this is to taste.

The mixture must be placed on low heat and brought to a boil, stirring occasionally. Then it must be boiled, stirring constantly, until the resulting sugar syrup becomes caramel-colored. At this point, you can experiment and add emulsions to future candies, which will color the candies and give different flavors.

You must first prepare the molds by thoroughly coating them with oil, so that as soon as the mixture is prepared, immediately fill the cells with it.

Having done this, you need to immediately place the sticks in them before the lollipops harden. All you have to do is wait until the sweets harden, and this happens within 40-60 minutes.

These popular homemade sweets with a delicate taste appeal to many people with a sweet tooth. Moreover, they are quite easy to prepare and do not require much effort or skill.

To prepare them you will need:

a glass of granulated sugar;

2 tbsp. spoons of butter (it can be replaced with 100 ml of heavy cream);

vanillin on the tip of a knife.

It is better to cook candy in a saucepan, and to do this you need to place all the components in it, which should be cooked over low heat. The mixture must be stirred constantly until it acquires a coffee color and a uniform consistency.

You can decorate the candies in two ways - pour the resulting syrupy mass into pre-greased molds, or pour it onto a baking sheet and, after hardening, carefully cut it into individual candy pieces.

This is a recipe that produces fruit-flavored caramels. And the use of natural juices makes them also healthy.

To prepare them you need the following products:

a glass of freshly squeezed juice;

2/3 cup granulated sugar;

cinnamon and vanilla powder to taste.

The most visually attractive homemade caramel are sweets containing raspberry, cherry or strawberry juice.

You need to take a deep saucepan, pour granulated sugar into it and pour in the resulting juice. The mass should be placed on low heat and stirring constantly, cook until smooth. As soon as the mixture begins to change color, add cinnamon and vanillin.

The fire should be turned off when bubbles begin to float from the bottom of the container. The resulting syrup should be poured into prepared and greased molds. After a few minutes, sticks are placed into the lollipops and they remain there until they harden completely.

Ginger-lemon medicinal lollipops

Since cough is a fairly common symptom in children, and it has to be treated with unpleasant mixtures, parents came up with a home remedy to eliminate this condition - medicinal lozenges with ginger and lemon.

Their composition is balanced and the taste is very pleasant. It contains several very useful components that have a strengthening effect on the patient’s immune system, promoting rapid recovery.

To make healing candies, you will need a number of products:

half a large lemon;

fresh ginger root - a 2–3 cm piece;

3 tbsp. spoons of water;

2 teaspoons honey;

2/3 cup sugar;

3–4 dried cloves;

powdered sugar.

First of all, you need to peel the spice root, and then cut it into thin slices. Add granulated sugar, lemon juice, cinnamon and grated ginger root to the saucepan. The resulting syrup is cooked over low heat, and after the sugar has completely dissolved, honey is added to it.

The resulting mass for candy requires constant stirring. In addition, you should not pay attention when the syrup begins to foam abundantly and stir until it becomes a distinct amber color.

You can check the syrup for readiness in a simple way - put a small drop of the mixture on a saucer and if it has not changed shape and does not spread, then this indicates that it can be used.

You need to spread parchment or baking paper, sprinkle it a little with powdered sugar and, using a spoon, start laying out small candies. Then you need to sprinkle them with powder and leave until they harden.

When they start to harden, you can start rolling them to give the candies a candy-like appearance. Then you can place the cough drops in a box or jar for storage.

Another recipe for lollipops successfully used to treat various ailments. To prepare them, you will need a mixture of medicinal herbs - this can be either a ready-made mixture that can be purchased at a pharmacy, or mixed herbs yourself. Raw materials must be crushed before use. In addition, you need a glass of water and a couple of glasses of granulated sugar.

Water and sugar are placed on the stove and brought to a boil with constant stirring. 2 tablespoons of the herbal mixture are added to the resulting cough syrup and the mixture is cooked until it becomes thick. As soon as this happens, you need to remove the container from the heat and fill all prepared forms with syrup.

Effective lollipops that eliminate obsessive coughs are obtained by taking peppermint and chamomile flowers as ingredients. The syrup is boiled from half a glass of water and a glass of sugar, after which crushed plant ingredients are added to it. The mass is ready when its color becomes a little darker. In this case, it must be removed from the heat and poured into molds.

Homemade lollipops can be just a delicacy, or they can also act as a remedy, so you can make both dessert and medicine at home - as desired or necessary.

Lollipops

Which kid doesn't love delicious lollipops? During our childhood, such lollipops could be bought in the form of cockerels, squirrels, and bunnies. Well, our children have to be content with all kinds of lollipops and other candies that contain many harmful additives, but the health of the child is above all else for the mother. Therefore, I would like to invite you to try making lollipops.

You can be confident in these lollipops because you know their composition. Once upon a time, special molds for making lollipops were sold, but it’s unlikely that anyone still has them; silicone molds are not suitable for these purposes, since they can melt under the influence of hot syrup. But don’t despair, because foil can make wonderful molds.

I offer you a basic recipe for lollipops. Ingredients of homemade sweets:
. Sugar - 4 tablespoons
. Water - 2 tablespoons (water can be replaced with fruit juice)
. Vinegar - 1 teaspoon
. Food coloring - on the tip of a knife (but you can do it without coloring)

Recipe for making homemade candy.

If you have silicone ice molds, you can use them for lollipops. But, unfortunately, I don’t have those, so I came up with foil molds. For this we need foil. We make a strip out of it. Homemade lollipops.


We cut this strip into several parts.


Take a regular stack and wrap the bottom in foil.


This is how the mold turns out.


I trimmed off the extra pieces of foil, and these are the shapes I got.


Now carefully insert a toothpick into each mold.


The forms are ready. Now let's make caramel. Pour sugar into a saucepan or frying pan, add water and vinegar.


Place on low heat. When the caramel boils, add coloring.


The caramel should boil a little. If a drop of caramel immediately cools in the water, then the caramel is ready. We literally add a drop of sunflower oil to each mold so that the caramels do not stick to the molds.


Pour caramel into molds.


If you want, you can decorate the caramels a little with different confectionery decorations.


After 10 minutes, the fireplaces are ready and can be removed from the molds. Homemade lollipops are ready. As you can see, there is nothing complicated in making candy.
