Lemon Candy, or Rock Candy

- To one pound of • loaf sugar put a large cup of water, and set it over a slow fire for half an hour. Clear it with a little hot rum or vinegar. Take off the scum as it rises.

Try, when it is done enough, by dipping a spoon in it and raising it; if the threads thus formed snap like glass, it is done enough. Then pour it out into a tin pan; when nearly cold, mark it in narrow strips. with a knife.

Before pouring it into the pans, chopped cocoanut, almonds, or picked hickory-nuts may be stirred into it. Brazil-nuts, taken from the shells, cut in slices, and added to it, are very good.
