FOR SUGAR BLOOD

1. Combine water and light corn syrup into a small sauce pan. Pour in Dixie Crystals Extra Fine Granulated Sugar and stir.
2. Heat on medium heat WITHOUT STIRRING until the sugar mixture reaches 300F on a candy thermometer (I\'ve actually used a cheap meat thermometer for this before tool)
3. Once it reached 300F add the food coloring and stir.
4. Let it cool for just a second and then dip the rim of clean glasses into the sugar mixture.
5. Dip to coat and then immediately sit it upright so the sugar blood will drip as it hardens.
