    Lemon Cream Candy. 0 6 pounds best white sugar. i teaspoonful of soda. Strained juice of 2 lemons. , Grated peel of i lemon. ^ ^ Steep the grated peel of the lemon in the juice for an hour; strain, squeezing the cloth hard to get out all the strength. Pour the water over the sugar, and, when nearly dissolved, set it over the fire and bring to a boil. Stew steadily until it hardens in cold water ; stir in the lemon ; boil one minute; add the dry soda, stirring in well ; and, instantly, turn out upon broad, shallow dishes. Pull, as soon as you can handle it, into long white ropes, and cut into lengths when brittle.

Draw the saucepan to the side of the range, and stir this in well; put back on the fire and boil ten minutes longer, quite fast, stirring con- stantly.

When cold enough to retain the impression of the knife, cut into squares. Marbled Creaj 4 cups white sugar. I cup rich sweet cream. I cup water. I tablespoonful of butter. I tablespoonful vinegar.
