Vinegar Candy
| Sugar (granulated), | 2 cups |
| Vinegar, | ½ cup |
| Water, | ½ cup |
When the sugar, vinegar and water had boiled long enough so that a little of the syrup, dropped in cold water, formed a hard ball, it was poured into a buttered pan, let cool sufficiently and pulled. It was very simple, since Betsey did not have to stir this while cooking or add anything extra.
