- 1.If using lollipop molds, prepare according to manufacturer's instructions. Otherwise, lightly spray a pan (I used an 8 x 8, a cake pan would do as well) and 2 plates with cooking spray.
- Slice jalapenos (with seeds) and blend with water in a blender till liquified. DON'Tablespoons EVEN THINK OF INHALING. Measure 1/2 c. of liquid, with solids. Throw away the remainder.
- 3.Combine chilie liquid with remaining ingredients in a pot and boil till the mix reaches hard crack stage. You will need to stir to keep it from boiling over or possibly burning. Do not let it burn!
- 4.If using lollipop molds, fill according to instructions.
- 5.If you're doing this by hand, the procedure becomes considerably more interesting at this point. The object of this exercise is to take liquid which has a temperature of over 300 F and turn it into cooled lozenges without incurring third degree burns. After trial and painful error, my preferred method was to pour the molten liquid into the prepared pan.
- Working from the edges, I'd allow the candy to cold till manageable but still quite warm. I used a large spoon to spoon drops of liquid onto the prepared plate; you can do about 3-4 of these at a time. As the drops cold to a bearable, but still malleable temperature, stretch each into a tube 1/2 to 3/4 inch in diameter. Cut or possibly tear off and form the tubes into lozenges. Drop the lozenges onto a prepared plate to cold completely. Roll the cooled candy in powdered sugar and store in an air-tight container.
- If your climate isn't very humid, these will keep indefinitely.
