- Preparations: Butter a cookie sheet;place in warm oven to keep warm-to hot. Combine the baking soda and vanilla in a small cup and set aside.(this keeps the soda from brown flaking in your syrup).
- Combine sugar,water and corn syrup in heavy saucepan.
- Bring mixture to full boil over high heat, stirring until mixture appears clear.
- Cook to hard crack stage- 290 degrees.(No thermometer? Fill a cup with cold water and drip a drop of the syrup into water. Feel the drop at the bottom of the cup -- if it's hard and brittle, it's ready!
