1 cup water
3-3/4 cups sugar
1-1/4 cups light corn syrup
1 tsp. each red liquid food coloring, cinnamon oil
1/3 cup confectioners' sugar
Line a cookie sheet with foil; butter foil and set aside. In a large heavy saucepan, combine water, sugar, corn syrup and food coloring. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Cover and cook 3 minutes to dissolve sugar crystals. Uncover; cook on medium-high heat, without stirring, until a candy thermometer reads 300ºF (hard-crack stage), about 25 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in cinnamon oil (keep face away from mixture; odor is very strong). Immediately pour onto prepared pan. Cool completely, about 45 minutes. Break candy into pieces using edge of a metal mallet. Sprinkle both sides with confectioners' sugar. Store in airtight container(s).
