Guest guest Posted November 10, 2002 Report Share Posted November 10, 2002 Old-Fashioned Horehound Drops -------- ------------ -------------------------------- 2 ounces dried horehound leaves (or 6 oz fresh leaves) 3 cups very hot water 3 1/2 pounds brown sugar 2 teaspoons peppermint extract Pour very hot water over the horehound. Steep 30 minutes, while keeping on low heat. Strain. Add sugar and dissolve. Bring to a boil and continue boiling until mixture reaches 295ºF (the temperature for brittle candy). Add peppermint, then drop mixture quickly on a buttered board, half a teaspoon at a time, or pour into a shallow, buttered pan and cut into squares before it completely hardens.
