i am wanting to know about some easy recipes for stain glass candy for all flavors?
This is the recipe for Almond but you can substitute tthe almond extract for lemon, vanilla, of walnut extract to make it another flavor!
I hope this helps!
INGREDIENTS
1 cup water
3 1/2 cups white sugar
1 1/2 cups light corn syrup
1 tablespoon almond extract
1 tablespoon red food coloring
DIRECTIONS
Lightly grease one 12x18 inch or larger baking sheet.
In a large heavy saucepan, combine the water, sugar and corn syrup. Heat over high, stirring constantly with a heat resistant spoon, until all sugar is dissolved. Stop stirring and bring to a boil. Boil until a candy thermometer reads 310 degrees F (154 degrees C). Remove from heat.
When bubbling has ceased, stir in the flavoring and a food coloring. Spread into the prepared pan so that the candy is no more than 1/4 inch thick. Cool for 45 minutes in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator, crack into pieces and enjoy!

Depression Glass Candy Dishes
Depression glass candy dishes were made by eighteen different glass companies. Of the most popular one hundred and fifty depression glass patterns, almost half have depression glass candy dishes in their collection. The Paden City Glass Company and the Hocking Glass Company (later the Anchor-Hocking Glass Company) created the most – with twelve different candy dish patterns each. Other glass companies that produced multiple candy dish patterns were: the Jeannette Glass Company with seven different patterns; the Imperial Glass Company and U. S. Glass Company each made four patterns; and the Westmoreland Glass Company manufactured three different patterns.
Approximately ninety different depression glass candy dishes were made in a variety of styles, shapes, and colors. Out of all of these, only fifteen were produced without a lid. Therefore, the majority contain two pieces of glass – a lid and a base. Lids were manufactured in various styles, ranging from flat shapes to cone shapes. The styles for the bases differed greatly as well. Some bases were flat or round, many had an elevated pedestal, and others were three-footed. Several were made with two handles, and about a dozen were made as either a two-part dish or a three-part dish. Candy dishes were produced in a wide variety of shapes as well. Round or square shapes were the most common, while octagonal, heart, and cloverleaf shapes tended to be more unusual. Although the full rainbow of colors can be found, the most popular colors were pink, green, and crystal.
Almost forty percent of the depression glass candy dish patterns have several different styles in the same pattern. Two or three different styles per pattern are the most common. For example, the Twisted Optic pattern by the Imperial Glass Company has five different candy dish styles.
Two candy dishes were reproduced. The candy dish in the Princess pattern was reproduced in the colors of cobalt blue and amber, which were colors not originally produced. Although the Princess pattern was reproduced in the colors of pink and green, the reproduced color shades do not match the original color shades. In addition, the quality of the reproduction glass was much more rough and bubbly than the original glass. The candy dish in the Sharon pattern was also reproduced. There are three ways to discern a Sharon reproduction candy dish from an original. An original Sharon candy dish pedestal base is three and one-quarter inches across, while a reproduction base is only three inches across. Next, measure the circle of glass visible on the underside center of the lid. An original should measure two inches across, while a reproduction will measure one-half inch across. Finally, the quality of the reproduction glass is rough and poorly molded as compared to an original Sharon depression glass candy dish.

Does rock candy have to be made in a GLASS jar?
Or can it be made in a plastic cup? Or something plastic? Does it really have to be glass? If so, why?
Can you makin it plastic cups? I am trying to make rock candy with my daughter and the kids I watch, and I don't want to do it in glass around them in case it falls and shatters. So does it re~eally have to be done in glass?
It doesn't matter...the only thing that matters is that the water evaporates. Plastic is perfect.
Glass is only used so that you can see the process.
