and maybe butter? but is there away we could makeit good? why cornsyrup and

sugar? couldn't honey replace that? makes sence that fda approved it it has

sugar and cornsyrup in it as long as it has poisions they are happy. sorry just

not an fda fan. but I think I know a couple people that might enjoy this candy

if I can tweek it enough. thanks for the recipe.

I don't see any reason why you can't just put it on your food and get

the same benefits but i'm no expert.

I would love your hard candy receipe if you still have it.

Thanks

Cayenne Pepper candy for colds

(not hard candy as I stated, this sound more like taffy! Yum!

This recipe, developed at Yale, has had much success but is currently not

FDA approved. (now isnt that a hoot? FDA approved? Ha!)

1 tablespoon butter to grease the pan, then mix:

1 cup sugar

3/4 cup light corn syrup

2/3 cups water

1 tablespoon cornstarch

2 tablespoons butter

1 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons vanilla

1/2 - 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Butter a square 8x8x2 pan, and set aside. In a 2-quart sauce pan, combine

the sugar, corn syrup, water, cornstarch, butter and salt. Cook over medium

heat, stirring constantly, to 265 degrees on a candy thermometer (or until

small

amounts of the mixture dropped into very cold water forms a hard ball).

Remove from the heat; stir in the vanilla and cayenne pepper, and pour into

the

greased pan.

When the mixture is just cool enough to handle, butter hands & pull the

candy until it is satiny, light in color, and stiff. Pull into long strips,

1/2 inch wide. Cut the strips into 1-inch pieces. Wrap the pieces individually

in waxed paper, and store them in an airtight container.

I would think you could cook this to " hard crack " stage and then pour into a

pan to cool, then smack it to break into small pieces.

Heat Scale: Medium

Yield: About 1 pound

The best thing I ever did for my sinuses is Organic Apple Cider Vinegar- 1

TBSP in a big glass of water every single morning. You can feel it working

within minutes. I now add cayenne pepper to this morning cocktail along with a

wee bit of maple syrup- stevia would work too.

The candy I tried to go for the hard crack stage- but missed it. Mine is more

like caramels

and it keeps melting LOL, but they peel off the greased pan just fine and

literally melt in my mouth. I am going to do it again this time hopefully to the

hard crack and hope and pray i get it out of the pan before it sets up. LOL Im

also going to use honey instead of the corn syrup which I discovered has HFCS as

one of the ingredients. May even add a bit of horehound extract- that should

really do a great job on my throat.
