LEMON CANDY

Take three pounds of coarse brown sugar, add three teacups of water, and set it over a slow fire for half an hour ; add a little gum Arabic dissolved in hot water, to clear it ; take off the scum as long as it rises. When clear, try it by dipping a pipe-stem in, and then in cold water, or by taking a spoonful in a saucer ; if done, it will snap like glass. Flavor with lemon, and cut in sticks.
