Ingredients
- 1/2 cup cherry juice
- 1 tablespoon lime zest
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
Instructions
- Cover a jelly roll pan with powdered sugar. Use a round cap, shot glass, or other object to make circles into the sugar creating your mold. Make sure the bottom of the pan does not show. Place a stick in the center of each circle gently pressing into the sugar.
- Place the cherry juice into a pan. Boil until reduced to 2 tablespoons.
- Combine the sugar, water, and corn syrup in a separate pan. Heat to a boil and continue to cook until the mixture reaches 300 degrees F.
- Working quickly, pour the sugar mixture into a large measuring cup. Stir in the reduced juice and lime zest with a silicone spatula. Pour into the molds and allow to set for 15-20 minutes
