Cooked Fondant Centers

For each 2-1/2 cups of dry fondant add 4 tablespoons water in the top of a double boiler. Stir well and be sure there is no extra powdered fondant. The fondant should liquefy into a paste. Heat to 155 degrees, add coloring and oil flavors (extract flavors contain alcohol so they cook out below 120 degrees). Pour into funnel and deposit into flexible molds or puddle direct on flexible mint mat. Flex out when set.

2 1/2 cups candy fondant
4 tablespoons water
Flavoring desired (Peppermint)
Candy Thermometer

Add 4 tablespoons water and candy fondant to the top of a double boiler. Stir well and be sure there is no extra powdered fondant. The fondant should liquefy into a paste. Heat to 170 degrees, add coloring and oil flavors (extract flavors contain alcohol so they cook out about 120 degrees). Pour into the funnel and deposit in party mint molds. Flex out when set.

POURED MINTS FROM SCRATCH

2 cups granulated sugar
1/8 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 1/2 cups boiling water
Flavoring desired (Peppermint)
1 1/2 quart sauce pan
Candy Thermometer
.
Butter the sides of your saucepan. Mix all ingredients. Stir over medium heat until sugar dissolves and mixture comes to a boil. Cook without stirring to soft ball stage (238°). Pour onto a platter or shiny cookie sheet with sides. DO NOT SCRAPE SAUCEPAN. Cool mixture until only slightly warm (about 30 minutes). With a spatula or wooden spoon, scrape fondant mixture from the edge of platter toward the center. Gradually the fondant mixture will turn stiff and white. Knead until free of lumps. Wrap and place in covered container. Allow to ripen 24 to 48 hours. Add coloring, roll in to small ball to fit mold shape. Dip front half in granulated sugar, press sugar side in mold shape and flex out of mold.

CARE OF FLEXIBLE MOLDS
After use these molds should be hand washed in mild soap, rinsed well and laid flat to dry. For cleaning out any sugar based candies i.e. fondants, creams, maple sugar, just soak in hot water and let air dry. For candies such as chocolate, chocolate coating, fudge, butter, cheese paste, soak in a solution of mild soap, rinse well and lay flat to air dry.
