Candy Recipes
Anise-Honey Chews
Ingredients
- 1 cup honey
- 1 1/2 teaspoons star anise, finely ground*
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, cook the honey and anise together over low heat until the mixture reaches the firm-ball stage. Pour the mixture into a very lightly greased soup bowl and allow it to cool somewhat.
- When the honey mixture is cool enough to handle, tear off bits and shape them into balls between the palms of your hands, then place them on a dry plate to set.
- When the candy is well set, wrap each piece in wax paper.
Notes
* The star anise will grind easily in a blender.
You may substitute any other flavoring, herb, or spice for the star anise.
