I know there's a recipe using vanilla, honey that you boil but does anyone have an exact recipe for hot cinnamon candy? http://grandmascinnamon.tripod.com/ is a non-SCD recipe. I believe that you could take honey in the same amount as the caro syrup called for, heat it to hard crack, add the cinnamon oil, and pour it out on oiled cookie sheets. If you don't get it hot enough to go hard, you'll at least have some super cinnamon taffy! — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 Marilyn or anyone, have you tried the toffee or vanilla hard candy recipes where they've come out like hard candy? Taffy is good ;-) but I need something hard or something like twizzlers to munch on while trying to stop smoking. I'll check out the recipe you linked. Not a candy maker here!

To be honest, no, I haven't. I'm not really a hard candy person. Too much honey and I don't get along, and once I start eating honey candy, I finish the whole batch. So I rarely make it except when I have people to help me eat it. — Marilyn New Orleans, Louisiana, USA Undiagnosed IBS since 1976, SCD since 2001 Darn Good SCD Cook No Human Children Shadow & Sunny Longhair Dachshund Babette the Foundling Beagle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 1, 2010 Report Share Posted October 1, 2010 If you need to make candy I would recommend getting a candy thermometer for sure. It makes knowing when you have gotten to the right stage very easy. Good luck figuring out the recipe you want. I'll check out the recipe you linked. Not a candy maker here!
