Some tips for getting syrup to stick

Fowzia Jassat-Vawda says hardball consistency is when u drop a little syrup into cold water and it hardens on contact.the syrup has to boiled for quite a while to get to this stage so be patient 🙂

Nasreen Seedat U must wash the apples in very got water and dry them thoroughly so the syrup sticks 🙂

Ayesha Umar – U should try to get a candy thermometa it abit pricey but itsa gud buy. it wil show hardbal n other dif stages for makin other candies n its a whole lot easier.
