Ingredients

  • ¾ square inch pressed horehound
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 3 cups sugar
  • ½ teaspoon cream of tartar

Directions

1

Pour boiling water over horehound which has been separated in pieces; let stand one minute, then strain through double cheese-cloth. Put into a granite kettle with remaining ingredients, and boil until, when tried in cold water, mixture will become brittle. Turn into a buttered pan, cool slightly, then mark in small squares. Small square packages of horehound may be bought for five cents.
