Well I esperimented a few minutes ago....
Using Wilton pink Candy melts (I had in my home):
Karo (corn syrup) - The racipe all people uses
Cherry almibar (when you buy cherrys) - I reduced it to looking for the consistency of the corn syrup. At 85°C got it. (remember syrups tends to thicken when they cool). Cherry color made the pink color darker.
Honey Bee - I warmd it a Little to habe a liquid consistency (mines was a Little cristalized)
Sugar syrup - Same mesure of sugar and wáter. At 95°C I got the syrup.
How I calculate the consitency of the syrup.. wel I took a drop of corn syrup and when I was cooking the cherry and sugar syrup I was taking drops (that cools quickly) until I reached the consistency and I used termometer to see the temperatura reached.
Well now clays are resting... I will report flavor and consisntency in a few hours.
