Margaret did not wait till she reached the recipes for candy at the back
of her book before she began to make it. She made it all the way along,
whenever another little girl came to spend the afternoon, or it was such a
rainy day that she could not go out. Nearly always she made molasses candy,
because it was such fun to pull it, and she used the same rule her mother
used when she was a little girl.
Molasses Candy
2 cups New Orleans molasses.
1 cup white sugar.
1 tablespoonful butter.
1 tablespoonful vinegar.
1 small teaspoonful soda.
Boil hard twenty minutes, stirring all the time, and cool in shallow pans.
If you double the rule you must boil the candy five minutes longer.
The best thing about this candy is that it does not stick to the fingers, if
you let it get quite cool before touching it, and pull it in small
quantities. Do not put any butter on your fingers, but work fast.
