A friend of mine has a son with dye sensitivities and food allergies that loves hard candy.  This candy recipe can be flavored with any combination of natural flavors without any fear of harming your loved ones.

Hard Candy Without Corn Syrup or Artificial Dyes

(300 grams) sugar

(120 milliliters) water

tsp (5 milliliters) peppermint oil

Line and grease a 8-9' (20-23cm) heat proof container with aluminum foil or use parchment paper. I don&#039;t recommend using glass as it can crack with thermal shock.

Place sugar and water in a heavy 3 qt sauce pan.  Stir until dissolved.

If at any time sugar gets on the sides of the pan above the sugar, carefully wash it down the sides with a pastry brush dipped in water.

Continue to cook on medium high heat until hard-crack stage is reached 310F (154C.)

Remove from heat. Let it stop boiling and add in the peppermint oil.  Stir carefully with a clean heat proof spoon or spatula to mix in the oil.

Pour on baking sheet. Allow to cool 5-10 minutes and score the candy with a knife for more uniform pieces.

Let cool completely before breaking apart at score lines and store in an airtight container.
