Instructions

Put a 24- by 12-inch sheet of parchment on a work surface and anchor corners with pieces of tape.

Cook mixture, without stirring, washing down any sugar crystals from side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water, until syrup registers 238°F (soft-ball stage) on thermometer, 10 to 12 minutes (sugar syrup will be colorless).
