Licorice Drops 

    1 cup granulated sugar
    1/4 cup brown sugar
    1/4 cup water
    1/4 cup light corn syrup
    1 tbsp black food coloring
    1/4 tsp anise extract or pulverized anise seeds

  Put the sugars, water and corn syrup into a pot, set the pot over
 medium heat and stir. When the batch has boiled for the first
 time, wash the sugar crystals down from the sides of the pot. Put
 the thermometer in the pot and cook without stirring to 290F
 [soft crack stage]. Take the pot from the heat and add the food
 coloring and the anise flavoring and stir them in gently.

  With a teaspoon, drop round patties about the size of quarters
 onto a greased baking sheet. If the candy in the pot gets too
 firm for spooning, reheat it gently until it softens.

  Cool the drops completely but not in the refrigerator or the pieces
 will stick. Wrap the drops individually in wax paper.
