Making Honey Candy

Now that we have so much honey we need to find things to do with it.  Our first use is hard candy. 

Combine 2 cups of honey, 1 cup of cream and 1 cup of sugar

Bring to a boil, remember when you start that it will take up much more room in your pot than you think it will.

Cook until it forms a hard ball when you drop it into ice water.

Pour the mixture onto a buttered cooking sheet.

When cooled, pull with buttered hands. Stretch, twist and pull until firm and then form into long ropes and place on waxed paper.

Cut into bite size pieces. If you want, you can roll them in powdered sugar and wrap them in wax paper
