Please Pass the Candy Corn

What brings back fond childhood holiday memories for almost everybody? A Christmas tree, or maybe on the lookout for hidden Easter eggs in your garden? Fourth of July sparkler or Valentine heart? For me, inspire a full baby-boomers, the ravishingly sweet taste of these golden pieces of Halloween. Yes, I am speaking of sweets, the Nirvana of gustatory bliss.

Believe it or not, candy has been around since the 1880s. Invented byGeorge Renninger of Wunderlee Candy Company of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, this growing candy creation was soon with the Gölitz confectionery, the company producing it commercially in Cincinnati, Ohio in 1898 began to be associated with. The rest is history candy.

Back at the turn of the 20th Century, produces candy-breaking work involved high-tech manufacturing employment has had the opportunity to make his grand entrance. Everything is done by hand onlyeight months per year, from March to November. Workers poured the primary ingredients of sugar, water and corn syrup is heated in large kettles, stirring the mixture into a slurry. Next, add fondant (for smooth texture) and marshmallows (for a soft bite) in. When you reach the right consistency, the mixture was poured into the hand held bucket as a "runner". The runners were pretty hard to lift, with a weight of 45 pounds.

Workers called "stringers" had the task ofPour scalding sweets, while backward into cornstarch trays covered with mold shaped the form of a kernel of corn. The stringer had to make three passes in these subjects to know a pass for each color - orange and yellow - the sweets. I can not imagine how hot and stuffy, the workers were, I can not even in my car without the AC sit in full swing.

Finally, the candy was ready, packed and shipped by wagon orTrain, for relatively short distances. Distribution was limited by the transience of candy. Who knows for a lump of melted, orange, yellow and candy?

The novel tri-candy was pretty revolutionary his approach. The residents of the U.S. farm were fascinated and could not get enough candy was quickly enough.It a real hit. It was so popular that other candy companies, trying other plant forms, including,turnip.An the American tradition was born.

Candy corn production is very similar in the present, except that it is practically a completely mechanical process. No more lugging around huge trays of treatment. Using the method of the corn starch molding process, trays with wells are now filled with corn starch syrup in three stages from the bottom up. First, the yellow syrup fills the depressions quarter full and then allowed to partially set. The second stage includes theWells with orange syrup and for the finishing touches will put the completed form with the white syrup and set aside to cool. It is time for the candy to gel together. On a total cooling the shells are facilitated with their sweet treats and are ready to be eaten with gusto.
