Sugar-candy. ✠
6 cups of sugar.
1 cup of vinegar.
1 cup of water.
Tablespoonful of butter, put in at the last, with
1 teaspoonful saleratus dissolved in hot water.
Boil fast without stirring, an hour, or until it crisps in cold water. Pull white with the tips of your fingers.
Since children must eat candy, this is the best you can give them. It is very nice. Flavor to taste.
