Softball stage of candy?!


Question: Softball stage of candy!?
approximately how long does it take to get to this stage!? (i have no thermometer and do not wish to over cook it)Www@FoodAQ@Com


Answers:
I am not sure the exact time but what i do is have a dish of cold water next to my saucepan and every few minutes i will dip a teaspoon in the mixture and let it run off into the cold water!. It is at the soft ball stage when it forms little balls (not exactly round) and you can pick it up in your fingers!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

you can do the cold water test!

its not always as accurate as thermometer!.
