NUT PATTIES.
Grind 3 pounds almonds, pecans, English walnuts, black walnuts, filberts, or any kind of nuts you may happen to have in the shop, and spread them out thin on the table or slab, and then press them down smooth with a little board or pan; now proceed to dissolve bon bon cream as for Peppermint Patties; when melted don’t flavor, but color to suit yourself. Drop the cream through the funnel on the nuts the size of other patties; when dry turn them over and stack in dishes, nut side up.
These goods are nice looking and sell well.
PEPPERMINT DROPS, OR SQUARES.
Proceed as with lemon drops, only flavor on the hook and pull white with the exception of 2 pounds left on the slab, color this red, and when batch is pulled add the red for stripes; finish same as clove drops or squares.
In cooking hard goods, such as tablets, and you don’t wish to use glucose, use ½ teaspoonful cream of tartar to every six-pound batch.
