Orange Jelly Candies

Butter a 9-in. square pan with 2 teaspoons butter; set aside. In a large saucepan, combine the pectin, baking soda and water (mixture will be foamy). In another saucepan, combine sugar and corn syrup. Bring both mixtures to a boil. Cook until foam on pectin mixture thins slightly and sugar mixture comes to a full rolling boil, about 4 minutes. Gradually add pectin mixture to boiling sugar mixture, stirring constantly. Boil for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Remove from the heat. Stir in orange oil and food coloring. Immediately pour into prepared pan.

Let stand at room temperature for 3 hours or until set.

Sprinkle waxed paper with sugar; invert pan onto sugar. With a knife dipped in warm water, cut candy into 1-in. squares; roll in additional sugar.

Place on a wire rack.

Let stand, uncovered, at room temperature overnight. Store in an airtight container.
