Instructions
-
Line a baking sheet with a silicone mat or greased aluminum foil.
-
Combine water, corn syrup, vinegar, sugar, and salt in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Stir until sugar dissolves, brush down pan sides with a wet brush, and insert a candy thermometer.
-
Bring to a boil, then gradually add butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reaches 300 F (149 C).
-
Remove from heat at 300 F. Stir in vanilla. Let cool for several minutes until slightly thickened but still pourable.
-
After 4-5 minutes, spoon round drops of candy onto the prepared sheet to form lollipops.
-
For each lollipop, press a stick into the back and cover it with candy.
-
Continue forming lollipops. If the mixture stiffens, gently reheat on low until it loosens.
-
Lollipops set quickly. Optionally, sprinkle with more salt. For storage, wrap individually in cling wrap at room temperature.
