Sweet N Spicy Lamb Lollipops Recipes

Steps:

• Prepare grill and turn to medium-high heat.
• In a shallow dish, blend the following ingredients: Red Monkey Stone Ground Spicy Mustard Seasoning, brown sugar, rosemary, salt and pepper.
• Drizzle each lamb chop with ¼ tablespoon of olive oil, then coat with the seasoning blend.
• Place chops on grill and cook for four minutes. Turn chops over and cook the other side for two minutes.
• Sprinkle with chopped pistachio nuts and serve one or two per person as an appetizer.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 300 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with a silicone baking mat smooth-side up.
• Put the sour candy pieces in a sturdy bag, break them up with a rolling pin and pour into a bowl. Put the sweet candy pieces in a bag, break them up with a rolling pin and add them to the bowl. (Do them separately, as the different candies break up differently.)
• Using a tablespoon, place 2- to 3-inch circles of candy 3 inches apart on the baking mat. (You can get about 8 on a baking sheet.) Bake until the candy has melted, about 7 minutes. Place a lollipop stick in the middle of each circle, carefully spinning the stick so that it gets coated with the hot candy. Let cool completely, 10 to 15 minutes. Repeat with the remaining candy. Store in a cool, dry place.

Steps:

• Cook all ingredients on high, stirring constantly.
• Cook for 30 to 45 minutes, until a small amount forms a hard ball when dropped into cold water.
• Grease cupcake pans with butter or margarine.
• Pour mixture into cupcake wells and let cool for a few minutes.
• Insert lollipop sticks (flat wooden kind) and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Remove and wrap each lollipop individually.

Steps:

• Place a baking sheet upside down on a flat surface and spray the pan with (A lot of) cooking spray. Spray a 2 cup heat proof measuring cup as well. Place everything except cinnamon flavoring, food coloring and lollipop sticks in a large saucepan on medium high heat stirring constantly for 5 minutes or until sugar is dissolved. Continue until the mixture begins to boil, occasionally brushing the sides of the pan with a pastry brush dipped in warm water. (That dissolves any sugar on sides of pan.) Stop stirring when it begins to boil.
• Place a candy thermometer onto the pan and do not let it touch the bottom of pan, that will give it a different temperature. Allow syrup to boil for 10 minutes, or until it reaches 300 degrees F. To test hard crack stage, drop a little of it into ice water. It should separate into threads that are brittle and hard. Immediately remove pan from heat and let syrup cool to 275 degrees F. or until it stops bubbling completely. Add cinnamon flavor and color quickly. Pour the syrup into prepared measuring cup and quickly pour into 2 inch rounds on parchment paper. Place a lollipop stick 1/2 of the way into each lollipop and twist until stick sticks. Skewers cute in half also work as lollipop sticks.
• Let each lollipop cool for 15 minutes, or until they are hard. Wrap each one in plastic wrap and seal with tape or a ribbon.
