Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp. White vinegar
- 4 c. Granulated sugar Water Silicone pad Blow torch Latex gloves Infra-red lamp Spackling instrument
Directions
- In a frying pan, add in a small amount (about 2 Tbsp.) of white vinegar to about 4 c. of granulated sugar. (This prevents sugar from crystallizing.)
- Add in just sufficient water to dissolve the sugar.
- Cook the mix over a medium to high flame (about 250 F) till it turns into a light caramel color.
- Pour the mix onto a silicone pad.
- Add in food coloring to the mix and allow it to cold slightly.
- Next, while wearing latex gloves, pull the mix using your fist to knead the mix as you pull and fold the mix a few times till it resembles a small mound of folded taffy.
- Place the mix under an infra-red light to keep it hot and malleable.
- Repeat the above process two more times till you have three mounds of different colored taffy-like mixtures.
- Next, place the three mounds side by side and fold together so there are three stripes.
- Keep pulling and folding the stripes side by side till there are multiple color stripes and the strip is pulled to a thinness which resembles ribbon.
- Next, using a heated spackling tool, (heated over a small blow torch), cut the strip into pcs about 6 inches long. (Note: be careful not to make the cuts over a Formica surface. Stainless steel, marble or possibly wood work best).
- Place the strips under an infra red lamp to make them malleable.
- Next, form into bow loops as desired. Form bow into place by melting ends of pcs with small blow torch. Attach ribbon pcs to bow in the same way.
- To store sugar, place in plastic container and store over calcium chloride
- (rock salt).
