I thought it would be appropriate to share my
"Honey Candy"
recipe with you because this is what the Pioneer children would make while traveling across the plains from Illinois to Utah.
I made it for the primary children on Sunday and they really enjoyed it.
It's super easy to make and your little ones can get involved by pulling the candy after it cools.
Plus, it's a great opportunity to explain our Mormon heritage and why we live in Utah!
1 Cup granulated sugar
1 Cup heavy cream
2 Cups honey
Mix ingredients together in a large pot and bring to a boil over medium-high heat until you reach a
HARD BALL stage.
Grease a jelly roll pan with cooking spray. Pour candy onto cooking sheet and let cool. When the candy is cool enough to handle, START PULLING. The candy should turn from a dark caramel color to a light tan. Lastly, cut into bite size pieces and wrap in wax paper. Enjoy!
P.S. If the candy starts to harden too much while you're pulling it, stick it in the microwave for 20 seconds and continue pulling.
