[Guest guest]

If I should have sent these to you instead of posting on the board please

let me know.Wasn't sure where to send them.

 

Old Time Horehound Candy.

2cups of fresh stems,flowers and leaves or 1 cup dry.

2 1/2 quarts of water

3cups brown sugar ( honey doesn't work)

1/2 cup corn syrup

1 tea. cream of tartar

1 tea. butter

1 sprig of lemon balm ( 1tea. lemon juice)

 

Cover horehound with water. Bring to boil,then simmer 10 min.Strain thur

cheesecloth and let settle.Put to cup in lg. pan. Add, brown sugar,corn

syrup and cream of tartar. Boil stirring often until reaches 249 degrees add

butter.Continue to boil until reaches 300 degrees.Remove from heat and add

lemon juice.(if using lemon balm add to horehound at beginning).Pour into a

buttered 8 inch square pan.As candy cools score into squares.Remove from pan

when candy is cooled.

 

These help with a sore thoart-not so much with cough.
