Ingredients

  • one-half pounds of sugar
  • one-half pints of water
  • a teaspoon of tartaric acid
  • one teaspoon of cream of tartar

Directions

1

Put into a kettle three and one-half pounds of sugar, one and one-half pints of water and one teaspoon of cream of tartar. Let it boil until it becomes brittle, when dropped in cold water ; when sufficiently done take off the fire and pour in a shallow dish which has been greased with a little butter ; when this has cooled so that it can be handled, add a teaspoon of tartaric acid and the same quantity of extract of lemon and work them into the mass. The acid must be fine and free from lumps. Work this in until evenly distributed, and no more, as it will tend to destroy the transparency of the candy. This method may be used for preparing all other candies as pine apple, etc., using different flavors.
