Lemon Candy

Ingredients

• a pound of loaf sugar
• a large cup of water

Directions

1. Take a pound of loaf sugar and a large cup of water, and after cooking over a slow fire half an hour clear with a little hot vinegar, take off the scum as it rises, testing by raising with a spoon, and when the "threads" will snap like glass, pour into a tin pan and when nearly cold mark in narrow strips with a knife. Before pouring into the pan, chopped cocoanut, almonds, hickory nuts or Brazil nuts, cut in slices, may be stirred into it. Mrs. Nellie L. Giles.
