Alphabet rubber stamps

Pigment ink pad, brown

How To Make:

1.) Firstly, prepare a sheet of kitchen foil by oiling it lightly with vegetable oil. Push a lollipop stick into each apple.

2.) Melt the sugar in the pan and allow to boil gently until it turns a caramel colour. 

3.) Do not overcook as it will taste bitter. 

4.) Remove from heat.

5.) Take each apple in turn and holding it by the stick, dip each apple in the sugar until it is well coated.

 TAKE CARE AS THE MELTED SUGAR MIXTURE IS EXTREMELY HOT. 

6.) You might need to spoon the mixture over the last apple as the level in the pan drops. 

7.) Place each apple on the oiled foil sheet and allow to cool.

8.) Place each cooled apple in the centre of a 30cm square ofcellophane sheet and draw up and around the apple securing where the apple and stick meet with a knot of ribbon.
