HOUSEHOLD HINTS

Lemon
tooth at our house and are always try
ing new candy recipes. Lemon drops
is one of our latest, and 1t proved a
great success. These are made of gran
ulated sugar, finest quality. Put three
and one-half ounces sugar and a table
spoonful of water in small saucepan.
add one-half teaspoonful acetic acid
and stand over the fire. When the Xix
ture begins to melt stir two or rec
minutes with a wooden paddle. ien
take from the fire. Have ready o led
paper, take the saucepan in the left
hand and pour the candy out in drops
about the size of large peas on the
paper.
When the drops are firm and cold
moisten a paste brush in warm water
and brush the under side of the paper
This loosens the drops so that they can
be removed with timber knife. When
quite dry, put into glass bottles to keep
them from attracting moisture. Can
anyone give me a good rule for fruit
candy?
