👨🍳 Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Base
In a heavy-bottomed saucepan, combine orange juice, sugar, and corn syrup.
Stir over medium heat until the sugar fully dissolves.
Step 2: Add Flavor
Stir in orange zest, salt, and lemon juice.
Let the mixture gently simmer.
Step 3: Cook to Candy Stage
Continue cooking without stirring too much until the mixture reaches 150°C (300°F) (hard crack stage).
If you don’t have a thermometer, drop a little into cold water—it should harden immediately.
Step 4: Shape the Candy
Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined tray or into molds.
Allow it to cool slightly, then cut into small squares or shapes.
Step 5: Finish
Once fully cooled, dust lightly with powdered sugar to prevent sticking.
