Annie's Quick and Easy Recipes


A lifetime collection of simple and easy to prepare recipes from Annie's Recipe Kitchen. These are recipes that I have collected over the years  and put into a shoebox to organize at a later time.  This is my attempt to organize them.

Annie's simple and easy candy recipes. Includes traditional candy (fudge, brittle, pralines, bon bons) and everyday candy recipes.

ROCK CANDY
2-1/2 c. sugar
1 c. water
1-1/2 c. white Karo syrup
1 tsp. oil flavoring
1 tsp. food coloring (your choice of colors)

Combine first 3 ingredients together in a saucepan. Bring to a boil. Cook to 300 degrees for hard crack. Remove from heat and add coloring and oil flavoring. Pour in cookie sheet sprinkled with powdered sugar. After it is hard, sprinkle more sugar on candy. Then break in pieces. (Oil flavorings are spearmint, cinnamon, anise, wintergreen, peppermint.)


PECAN PRALINES
1 c. buttermilk
2 c. sugar
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. pecan halves
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tbsp. butter

Use large pot to prevent boil overs. Stir buttermilk, sugar, and baking soda together until the sugar is completely dissolved. Place pot on low to medium on stove and boil until mixture is in soft ball stage. Stir constantly. Mixture will turn light brownish. When soft ball stage is reached (it will form a soft ball when a half-teaspoon or so of the syrup is dropped into a cup of cold water), remove the pot from the heat. Add two cups of pecan halves, butter, and vanilla. Beat mixture briskly until it becomes glossy and starts to thicken. Quickly spoon it onto greased waxed paper making little patties. Let the candy cool completely before removing it from the paper.


OLD FASHIONED FUDGE
2 c. sugar
1/3 c. corn syrup
3/4 c. milk
2 sq. chocolate

Stir all together and boil slowly until it forms a soft ball when tried in cold water. Move from fire and set in pan of cold water so as to cool more quickly, and beat until it becomes thick and creamy. Then turn out on buttered platter. This may be varied by adding chopped nut meats or marshmallows cut in squares before turning out.
