Lemon Butternut Candy
| Sugar (granulated), | 2 cups |
| Water, | ½ cup |
| Butternut meats (broken), | 1 cup |
| Flavoring (lemon), | 1 teaspoon |
After Betsey boiled the sugar and water without stirring until thick enough to spin a fine thread, she added the flavoring, placed her pan in cold water, and then stirred it very quickly until it was white, added the nuts, and poured into a buttered pan.
When it was cold she cut the candy into small squares.
