How To Make mozhee (molasses candy), mark
-
Step 1Combine these three ingredients (molasses, sugar and water) in a #10 cast iron frying pan, stirring until dissolved and then occasionally until the mixture forms a hard "crack" stage (about 290 degrees on a candy thermometer). Reduce heat, add 1 tsp pure vanilla and 1/8 lb butter. Mix thoroughly. Add nuts and coconut, mix again. Pour into buttered baking pan (cookie sheet). Let cool and harden. Test the mozhee for readiness while it's boiling. Drop a small amount (about the size of a pearl) into a cup of COLD water. If it diffuses into the water, it is not ready for hardening. Keep testing this way until the mozhee drop stays in a ball after dropped into the water and you can roll it around in your fingers. You will have to change the water after each test to keep it cold.
