PEAR DROPS.
14 lbs. White Sugar.
3 lbs Glucose.
¼ oz. Essence of Pear.
1 oz. Tartaric Acid.
2 quarts water.
Paste, Red Color.
Process.—Dissolve the sugar in the water, add the glucose, and bring the whole to the degree of crack, pour the contents on the slab, rub in a little red paste color in one corner of the boil to color light pink, turn up the edges, add the powdered acid in a little heap, pour over the acid the pear essence and thoroughly mix through the entire mass by kneading: when the batch is stiff enough cut off in small pieces and pass through the pear drop rollers; when cold sift and mix some icing sugar amongst them, and bottle.
