Sounds very compelling. I hear it and I'm going to change my sugars. Where do you buy cane sugar? I tried to check my local markets and they didn't give me conclusive information as to whether it was a mix or straight cane. Most places seem to have beet sugar. Any thoughts?

hi, thanks for the post. this is my recipe: 2 cups sugar, ¾ cup water, 2/3 cup syrup, I started adding 2 tsp citric acid because i wanted a tangy-er candy i started adding ¼ tsp cream of tartar because I thought it would hlep make them more clear looking.

Thank you for all the help and for the warm welcome.

Please help! I'm very frustrated. I'm trying to make hard candy and my sugar is burning. My first try it burnt terrible and its getting better and better but it still starts to turn amber. It starts to smell burnt and turns amber at around 270. any suggestions would be greatly appreciated...
