I have tried to make two different batches bee candy. I have know idea what is going wrong with it. I can't get it to go solid. I started with cane sugar, water and honey. 5lb sugar,1 1/2 lb my own honey. Got everything going great. S tiring my but off as normal. I got it up to 242 degrees and it was not forming a ball in the water. Then I went farther, thinking maybe the thermometer was off, nothing. I brought it to a halt when it reached 248 degrees. Pour it and when it cooled, it was the color of caramel and not hard. HELP
