By á-26060

This is such a simple recipe and the result is a decadent and sweet syrup that's wonderful for flavoring hot chocolate
or drizzling over ice cream.
This syrup makes a lovely gift if you put it in a pretty jar or bottle and decorate it with a ribbon and a candy cane.

Ingredients

• 2 cups of sugar,
• 1 cup of water,
• 6 to 8 candy canes.

Preparation

Step 1

Start by pouring the sugar and water into a saucepan.Give it a good stir and turn the stove on medium heat. Meanwhile, unwrap from 6 to 8 candy canes and break them into pieces.Add the candy cane pieces to the pan and continue stirring frequently as the mixture heats up. The candy canes will start dissolving, and the syrup will begin to turn a creamy pink color. When all the sugar and candy canes are dissolved, it will turn clear and take on a deep pink color.
continue cooking until the syrup comes to a boil. Let it boil for about 2-3 minutes and then turn off the heat and allow the syrup is cool in the pan. When it's cooled, pour the syrup into a jar with a lid for storage.
