List of Ingredients





Butter (to grease the inside of baking dish)
3/4 C water
2/3 C light corn syrup
2 C sugar
1 t anise extract
Red food coloring
2 to 3 T confectioners sugar



Recipe




Butter and 8 inch baking pan, and set aside.
In a large and heavy saucepan, combine the water, corn syrup and sugar.
Bring to a boil over med. heat, stirring occasionally.
Cover and cook for 3 minutes to dissolve any sugar crystals. Uncover and cook over med-high heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300 degrees (hard crack stage). Remove from heat and add coloring and extract, and then pour into prepared pan.
Using a sharp knife, score into 3/4" squares, and cool. Separate into squares, and roll in confectioners sugar, brushing off excess with pastry brush.
Store at room temp in airtight container.
