Butterscotch Space Pops

Ingredients

• 1 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup light corn syrup
• 2 tablespoons water
• 1 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 3 tablespoons cannabis tincture

Directions

• Line several baking sheets with waxed paper; set aside.
• Use butter to grease the sides of a heavy 1-quart saucepan.
• In the saucepan, combine the sugar, corn syrup, water and vinegar.
• Cook over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, to boiling, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar.
  Avoid splashing the mixture on the sides of the pan.
  
  
• Carefully clip a candy thermometer to the side of the saucepan.
• Cook the mixture over medium heat, stirring constantly, while adding the butter (cut into 8 pieces), 2 pieces at a time.
• Continue cooking the mixture over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the thermometer registers 300º F, hard-crack stage.
  
  The candy mixture should boil at a moderate, steady rate over the entire surface. Reaching hard-crack stage should take 25 to 30 minutes.
• Remove the saucepan from the heat; remove the thermometer.
• Stir in the vanilla extract and cannabis tincture.
• Cool for 5 minutes.
• Pour the mixture, 1 to 2 tablespoons at a time, onto the prepared baking sheets.
  The mixture will make 2 to 3 inch circles.
• Quickly place a lollipop stick into each piece of candy, twisting gently to cover with the candy mixture.
• Let the lollipops harden.
• Wrap the lollipops individually in clear plastic wrap to store at room temperature.

Makes 12 lollipops.

Four lollipops will have about a tablespoon of cannabis tincture in it, so they should be pretty potent if you followed the recipe for the cannabis tincture recipe on this site.
