      Title: Homemade Candy Canes
 Categories: Five, Candy
      Yield: 10 Canes
 
      2 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Light corn syrup
    1/2 c  Water
    1/4 ts Cream of tartar
      1 ts Peppermint extract
      1 ts Red food coloring
 
  In heavy-bottomed large saucepan or small pot, combine
  first 4 ingredients and stir until sugar dissolves.
  
  Cook, without stirring to hard-ball stage. (265ºF/130ºC)
  
  Remove from heat and add peppermint extract. Divide into
  two portions, and add coloring to one part. Pour out
  onto buttered cookie sheets. (Pour half onto one sheet,
  then add coloring to the rest and then pour onto second
  sheet.) when it's cool enough to handle, start pulling
  each part separately. (Best done with 2 people, but if
  doing alone, go back and forth pulling each.)
  
  When you feel like you just can't pull anymore, form
  into ropes and twist them together. Cut into 8" lengths,
  form into the shape of candy canes, and place on lightly
  buttered platter til fully hardened.
