Home Manufacture Of Table Strips
A correspondent OF the SUNNY South
offers the following suggestion in re-
gard to making strip for The table from
sugar: To make gallon OF strip Of
beautiful wilderness and crystalline
transparency, such As j. known in our
markets as silver drips, or rock-candy
drips, there are required Spounds Of re-
fined sugar, such as is known by its va
rious names and grades OF A, or Il, or
Extra G, and costing from 10 10 J..
cents per pound, according 10 locality
and distince from the sugarreiinery. To
this quantity SHOULD be added . pints Of
boiling water, and the whole subjected
to slow boiling for period Of - 10 20
minutes; after which, the solution, while
warm, should be strained through a
fabric Of moderately close texture This
will produce gallon eff sirup, at much
less COS, than the price demanded IN
market for The grades Of strip named.
For a light yellow or golden strip the
same quantity Of light brown sugar may
be employed, and so on through the
lower grades OF sugar and sirup; but
no grade of sugar can be found which
will produce so worthless an article as
the Cuba molasses generally offered in
all markets.
