Ingredients:

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup light corn syrup
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1 package (about 3 ounces) cherry gelatin

Instructions:

1. Prepare Baking Sheets:

   • Butter 2 large baking sheets.

2. Arrange Lollipop Sticks:

   • Arrange 10 lollipop sticks on each baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.

3. Cooking the Syrup:

   • In a small saucepan, stir together granulated sugar, light corn syrup, and butter over low heat until the sugar has completely dissolved.

4. Boiling Stage:

   • Slowly bring the mixture to a boil, stirring frequently. Use a candy thermometer to monitor the temperature until it reaches 275 degrees Fahrenheit (135 degrees Celsius).

5. Adding Gelatin:

   • Stir in the cherry gelatin until it’s completely smooth and incorporated into the syrup mixture.

6. Forming the Lollipops:

   • Using a metal tablespoon and working quickly, spoon the syrup mixture over one end of each lollipop stick. Ensure each stick is evenly coated.

7. Cooling:

   • Allow the lollipops to cool completely on the baking sheets. This will help them set and harden.

8. Wrapping and Storing:

   • Once cooled, wrap each lollipop individually in plastic wrap to maintain freshness and store them in an airtight container.

Tips:

• Work swiftly when spooning the syrup mixture onto the lollipop sticks as it can harden quickly.
• Use caution when handling hot syrup to avoid burns.
• Customize the flavor by using different flavors of gelatin or adding extracts like vanilla or almond for variety.
