How Ave Cook in Tennessee

Ingredients

Directions

"It shall be iu thy mouth sweet as honey."
To Prevent Sugar and Fruit Syrups from Overflowing or Rising Too High. — Butter well the inside of a vessel, about two inches from top; this will keep the syrup from rising higher than where it is buttered.
To Prevent Syrups for Making Candy From Burning While Boiling. — To avoid this put in your vessel three or four white stone marbles. The heat will keep them rolling and prevent the scorching or burning which often happens, and this does away with constant stirring.
Fudge. — Two cups white sugar, one cup cream, one table- spoon butter, one-fourth cake Baker's chocolate; mix sugar and cream; when hot, add chocolate (grated); as soon as it boils, put in butter. Stir vigorously and constantly until thick. Remove and beat until quite cool; pour into buttered tins. — Mrs. C. A. Derryberry.
Fudge. — Three cups sugar, two large tablespoons of butter, one-quarter cake of Baker's chocolate; put these ingredients into a porcelain kettle, with enough milk to cover. Boil until it slightly hardens when tested in cold water. Add a teaspoon of vanilla and beat until nearly cold; then pour in buttered dish; cut in squares. — Miss Annie May.
Fudge. — Two cups granulated sugar, two-thirds cup cream or milk, one square Baker's chocolate shaved fine. Boil together, stirring constantly until it makes a soft ball when dropped into cold water. Remove from the fire and beat until nearly cold; flavor with vanilla and pour into a buttered tin; cut into squares. — Mrs. J. E. Ryley.
