To Rock Candy-Violets
Pick the Leaves off the Violets, then boil some of the finest Loaf-sugar till it blows very strong, which pour into your Candying-Pan, being made of Tin, in the Form of a Dripping-Pan, about three Inches deep; then strew the Leaves of the Flowers as thick on the Top as you can; then put it into a hot Stove for eight or ten Days; when you see it is hard candied, break a Hole in one Corner of it, and drain all the Syrup that will run from it, then break it out, and lay it on Heaps on Plates to dry in the Stove.
