5 pounds sugar,
1 pound glucose,

Cook to 310°; pour off on slab; fold up and cut a small piece off, color it any color to suit, red, pink or orange; now pull and flavor the balance, and twist all the air out of it, then place it in front of the table furnace in a three-cornered piece about a foot long and with the piece you have colored make two or three strips and lay it on each corner of the batch, then pull it in lengths of two or three feet; see that they remain three-cornered, pull them in thickness of large lead pencil and have your helper place one hand on each end and turn the piece in the opposite direction, until it is evenly twisted; when cold cut in length of jar you intend to place them in.
These goods made in assorted colors and flavors look very well and readily bring 40 cents per pound.
