Lemon Candy

Lemon Candy image

Put into a kettle 31/2 pounds of sugar, 1 1/2 pints of water, and
1 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 pineapple, etc., using different flavors.

To Make Everton Toffee

To Make Everton Toffee image

One pound of powdered loaf-sugar, 1 teacupful of water, 1/4 pound of butter, 6 drops of essence of lemon. Put the water and sugar into a brass pan, and beat the butter to a cream. When the sugar is dissolved, add the butter, and keep stirring the mixture over the fire until it sets when a little is poured on to a buttered dish; and just before the toffee is done add the essence of lemon. Butter a dish or tin, pour on it the mixture, and when cool it will easily separate from the dish. Butter-Scotch, an excellent thing for coughs, is made with brown, instead of white sugar, omitting the water, and flavored with 1/2 ounce of ginger. It is made in the same manner as toffee.
