After the solution has reached hard crack temperature (300 degrees F) remove from the heat source. Let stand for a few minutes while temperature drops to about 265 degrees F. The bubbles will have settled out and the syrupy liquid can now be colored and flavored. Add the flavor according to the recipe. Then add the coloring. Go easy as too much color can make the lollipops taste bitter. Also, too much flavor will make the lollipops taste soapy. Use the recipe as a guide then vary to taste. Be sure that you do not over stir the liquid as you add the flavor and color. Citric acid is also added at this time to fruit flavored lollipops to enhance the fruity taste. Once the candy solution is well blended, start pouring into the molds as shown.
