Brown Sugar Candy (Pulled)
| Sugar (brown), | 1 cup |
| Corn Syrup, | 1 cup |
| Butter, | 2 tablespoons |
| Lemon juice, | 1 tablespoon |
Betsey put the sugar, corn syrup and butter in the saucepan and let them boil without stirring until a little of the syrup, dropped in cold water, became brittle. Taking the saucepan from the fire, she added the lemon juice and poured the candy into a buttered pan, greased her fingers well, and pulled when sufficiently cool. Then with the scissors she cut in small pieces.
Once when Betsey's mother was a young girl she visited a large farm in northern Vermont and it was there she had her first butternuts.
Betsey thought the recipes for butternut candy that follow were the best ever.
