Today the kids were off school and I wasn't feeling the best (very tired and many contractions) so we did some holiday decorating and cooking. We made my Dad's mom's cinnamon candy. I have never made hard candy before, but I remember my dad making his mom's cinnamon candy and it being super hot and great. So we made it because I had found some cinnamon oil a few weeks ago at Whole Foods.
The finished product. Bummer was that it did harden up and have some decent flavoring, but the oil wasn't as potent as it was supposed to be and it was very sticky after first lick. I think next time I need to let it boil longer or perhaps to a higher temperature.
