Wonderful Christmas popcorn candy making tips to follow

Making candy is easy as long you know the right ways! Here are some tips which will help you to be successful with your candy creation.

1. Having a good candy thermometer is a must

When you are making candies, the temperature of the sugar syrup determines whether your candy is ready or not. And To be accurate, you need a candy thermometer to keep you company! This way, you can determine the heat at which the syrup should be removed from the stovetop! If you do not use a candy thermometer, then the syrup might end up getting burnt, or it might remain too slimy.

The candy thermometer is different from the ordinary ones! It has some markings on it, which includes hard crack or softballs. However, while you take the reading, the thermometer should not touch the bottom of the saucepan or the sides, as the readings will then not be accurate.

2. Do not choose a humid day to make the candies

If you are planning to make candies, then always go for a drier day! Humid days are not a great idea when it comes to making candies because the main component of the candies is sugar which easily absorbs water and moisture from the surroundings to turn soggy.

In case it is raining on the day you choose to make the candies, the temperature of the stove should be a couple of degrees higher.

3. The bottom of the saucepan should be heavy

This is to be noted that the bottom of the saucepan should be heavy if you want your sugar syrup to not end up getting burnt. Try to avoid a thin aluminum pan as the fluid inside will easily get heated up more than it is needed and then end up sticking to the bottom or, worse, burning off.

The temperature of the syrup will reach 242°F, and that is when you should know that the candy syrup is ready.

4. You should always use fresh ingredients to make candies

When you are opting to make candies, you should try out the freshest ingredients! Do not compromise the taste of your candies by using old and expired products!

It is the quality of the candies which determines the good they shall taste. Hence candies should be prepared with items, fruits, and pulps which are fresh. 

5. Once the candies are prepared, the next thing is to store them well

Candies are prone to getting wet and soggy if you do not store them properly! Usually, they are wrapped in plastic sheets and then stored in airtight containers. You can place them on the racks in the kitchen or store them away in the refrigerator. Tins, cartons, and mason jars are where you can place the candies. This way, they will even last for a month!

Here are some recipes for popcorn candies that you can try out this Christmas season.
