Carrot Caramels
Boil some carrots or better bake them until quite tender, then pass through a sieve. To two cupfuls of this carrot pulp add two cupfuls of sugar, one-half cupful of corn syrup, two lemons, using both the juice and grated peel, one-half cupful of finely chopped almonds, also one-half cupful of water. Boil to the hard ball stage, and pour into well-buttered pans. When cool cut into cubes.
CHAPTER V
NUT CANDIES
Many delicious candies may be made by adding nuts to the other ingredients, and since nuts have much food value these candies are healthful and nourishing.
Chocolate Almonds
Blanch a pound of almonds; this is done by pouring hot water over the almond meats and letting them stand on back of stove for about five minutes when the skins can easily be slipped off. Place on a pan in the oven and brown a nice dark brown, but be careful not to let them burn. When cool dip each almond in melted sweet chocolate.
