Hard Cinnamon Candy
3 3/4 cups sugar
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1 cup water
1 1/2 tsp cinnamon oil
red food coloring
Combine sugar, light corn syrup and water into large pot. Stir together for a few seconds. Cook over medium heat (do not stir while cooking) and bring to 310 degrees (this takes a long time!). Remove from heat and add in cinnamon oil and red food coloring. Pour into greased cookie sheet (with edges) and let completely cool. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and break into pieces with a knife.
Usually you have to buy the cinnamon oil from a pharmacy. ***Do not touch the oil. It is potent stuff!!!*** Be careful when pouring the cinnamon onto the cookie sheet and avoid the steam.
