Recipe Introduction


See also, Vermonter Sponge Candy.
See also, Sea foam.


List of Ingredients




3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons honey
2 tablespoons water
1-1/2 teaspoons baking soda





Recipe



Butter a cookie sheet.
Add the sugar, honey, and water to a saucepan. You can stir the mixture, but it isn't necessary.
Cook the ingredients over high heat, without stirring, until the mixture reaches 300°F. The sugar will melt, small bubbles will form, the bubbles will become larger, then the sugar will start to carmelize to an amber color.
When the temperature reaches 300°F, remove the pan from heat and whisk the baking soda into the hot syrup. This will cause the syrup to foam up.
Stir just enough to mix the ingredients, then dump the mixture onto the greased baking sheet. Don't spread out the candy, as this would pop your bubbles.
Allow the candy to cool, then break or cut it into pieces.
Store the honeycomb candy in an airtight container.
