Cinnamon oil versus cinnamon extract?!


Question:

Cinnamon oil versus cinnamon extract?

I am trying to make cinnamon candy and the recipe calls for Cinnamon Oil. All I can find at the grocery store is Cinnamon Extract. Are these the same thing?

Thanks!

Where can I find cinnamon oil?


Answers:

No, they are not the same thing. The extract is made with alcohol. The cinnamon oil will blend easier and have a stronger, richer, more natural flavor. You can use the extract if you really want to. Using the extract will cause major splattering, overflow, and burning: if you are not very careful; when added, so be careful. I have used the extract in place of the oil before, and it was ok, and just ok. The oil is by far the best choice. Good Luck.
