  1-3/4 c  Sugar
    1/2 c  Water
    1/2 c  Light corn syrup
           Salt
           Food coloring optional
    1/4 ts Flavoring
           Confectioners' sugar
 
  In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, water, corn syrup and a dash of
  salt, and stir until the sugar dissolves. Cover the pan and bring the
  mixture to a rolling boil. Remove the lid, place a thermometer in the pan,
  and cook the mixture to 250°F (121°C) {hard-ball stage, pages 8-11}. Add
  the food coloring, if using, and continue cooking until the mixture reaches
  285 to 290°F (140 to 143°C). Remove the pan from the heat and let the
  mixture cool a few minutes. Add the flavoring and cover for five minutes.
  Pour into a buttered pan measuring 7x10 inches (18x25 cm). Cut the
  candy into strips with oiled scissors as soon as it is cool enough to
  handle. Then cut it into squares or diamond shapes. When the candy is cold,
  dust it with confectioners' sugar to prevent sticking.
