Six pounds of Sugar, small spoon cream of tartar, or one pound of glucose; cook to a Hard Crack, or 290°. Stir in four ounces butter and a few drops of Lemon Oil, then pour out and mark as Iceland Moss, etc.
TAR DROPS.
Six pounds of Sugar, small spoon of cream of tartar, or two pounds of glucose; cook to a Hard Crack, or 290°. Pour out on a well greased slab and add about a small spoon of Pine Tar; then with a batch knife work it through the batch, and run through a drop machine.
FRUIT DROPS, FIVE FLAVORS.
Twenty pounds of Sugar, three quarts of water, a heaping teaspoon of cream of tartar, or sixteen pounds of Sugar and four pounds of glucose; cook till the Sugar begins to turn yellow, then pour out at once; to one fourth of the batch add two or three drops of red color, just enough to make it a bright pink, then two full teaspoons of tartaric acid paste, and a few drops of Nectar; to another fourth of the batch add sufficient red color to make it a deep red, the same quantity of acid paste, and a few drops of Strawberry flavor; to the remaining half of the batch add as much acid as was given to the other two and a few drops of Lemon Oil; run these through a drop machine, forming round drops. Now cook ten pounds of Sugar in the same manner, color one-half of it Orange shade and flavor, add acid paste as before, the other half color green, and flavor Lime Juice; run through the same set of rolls.
VANILLA TAFFY.
Six pounds of Sugar, small spoon of cream of tartar or two pounds of glucose; cook just to the Crack, or 252°, add to it while cooking one Vanilla Bean, split in two; when poured on the slab remove the bean, and when cold enough, pull perfectly white; remove from the hook and pull into long strips, then cut into pieces three or four inches in length, and wrap in wax paper. If brittle taffy is wanted, cook this same batch to the Hard Crack, or 290°; form it into a large cake, which may be broken with a hammer as sold. If flavoring with the extract instead of the bean, do so while pulling on the hook.
