My daughter loves lollipops. Almost nothing makes her happier. So making them at home has been on my to-do list for, like – forever.
Today we gave this recipe a go.
We got around not having a sugar themometer by dropping some in to a glass of water from a teaspoon to see when it was becoming brittle enough – which was roughly after 5 minutes cooking (after the removing the lid stage). And cut some bamboo skewers in half for sticks.
I have to say it was incredibly fun and rewarding and yes we will be doing it again. It took about 20 minutes of activity and the pan is soaking in the sink to dissolve the sugar – which will just need a light wash later. Disgustingly easy.
And, they taste just like they should. Hurrah!
