Hortan Sweet Pumice Candy

Original Ingredients:

1 cup crystalized sucrose

1 cup viscous liquid glucose with vegetable impurities

1 tablespoon diluted acetic acid 

1 tablespoon sodium bicarbonate

Federation Replicator Equivalents:

1 cup white sugar

1 cup dark corn syrup (or 3/4 cup light corn syrup and 1/4 cup molasses)

1 tablespoon vinegar

1 tablespoon baking soda

Coat a 9x13" heatproof glass dish with a vegetable- or animal-based fat with a medium or high smoke point (such as butter).

In a medium saucepan over medium heat, combine everything but the sodium bicarbonate.  Cook, stirring, until crystals dissolve. Heat, without stirring, to 300 to 310 degrees F (149 to 154 degrees C), or until a small amount of syrup dropped into cold water forms hard, brittle threads.

Remove from heat, add sodium bicarbonate, and stir until well combined.  Mixture will foam.  Pour into prepared glass dish and let cool completely.  (Caution: mixture is very hot and can burn skin badly.)

When cool, cut into 1" square pieces and enjoy.
