Timing and yield are approximate; actual results vary with equipment, ingredient temperature and portion size. Allow extra time for the candy to cool completely before unmolding.

Equipment

  • Saucepan
  • Candy molds
  • Candy thermometer

Ingredients

food coloring/flavoring of your choice

Sugar, infused corn syrup and water with a candy thermometer and heat-safe mold
Set dry, heat-safe molds on a level tray before you start heating the syrup.

Instructions

  1. Pale candy syrup cooking with a thermometer clipped to the pan

    Dissolve the sugar and cook to hard crack

    Combine the sugar, cannabis corn syrup and water in a heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.

    Stir until the sugar dissolves, then stop stirring. Heat until a candy thermometer reads about 300°F (149°C), the hard-crack stage at sea level; adjust the target for your altitude.

  2. A few drops of coloring added to syrup in the saucepan off the heat

    Remove from heat before flavoring

    Remove the pan from the heat. Carefully stir in suitable flavoring and food coloring; hot syrup can bubble and splatter.

  3. Ruby syrup being poured into a silicone candy mold on a stable tray

    Pour into heat-safe molds

    Carefully pour the hot syrup into heat-safe candy molds on a stable surface before it hardens. Do not touch the syrup until it has cooled completely.

  4. Fully cooled ruby hard candies released from the silicone mold

    Cool before unmolding

    Let the candy cool completely before unmolding; toss it in sugar if desired. Label clearly as cannabis-infused and store securely away from children and pets.
