It's dry and cold. Nope, I just didn't cook it long enough because I was ascared.
Third batch hardened nicely and tastes great, but the color is so dark. I know I didn't overcook it. I wonder if the lemon juice discolors more easily than extract? I added corn syrup this time...did 4 parts sugar, 1 part corn syrup, 1 part lemon juice (someone's great grandma's recipe). Its like a slightly teeth stickinger version of a Jolly Rancher. I rolled them in granulated sugar. Made drops and a few sticks because playing with it was fun.
I didn't get to it yesterday so it won't be until next Monday at the soonest. My days just seem to get away with me.
