Citric Acid for Candy Making

Citric acid is a must have ingredient for candy making. A little can be added to fruit flavorings to enhance the fruitiness. It is also the the secret ingredient for making sour candies.

Recommended usage is 1/8 teaspoon per 2 cups of sugar. For hard candy and other cooked candies, add once hot syrup has cooled to below 265º F.

Make a sweet & sour coating for finished hard candy and lollipops: Combine 1 teaspoon citric acid with 1 cup granulated sugar and mix well. Add more citric acid as desired for a tarter flavor.
