Guest guest Posted November 13, 2003 Report Share Posted November 13, 2003 Hi Folks! This got sent to the list owner e-mail addy by accident (see message below). Welcome to the list Cary .. I'm sure you'll get some good ideas from the folks here *Smile* Chris (list mom) http://www.alittleolfactory.com Cary Jeffries [erd00484] Dear Friends, I'm trying to run down a source for the oil or extract from the horehound root. And while I'm asking, does anyone out there have a recipe for cooking up a batch of hard horehound candy? I'm afraid horehound drops are one of my many vices, but the older I get the harder they are to find. My late maternal grandpa used tell me stories when I was a child of how he and his grandma would search the hills and hollers of the Ozarks where he was born for the horehound herb. Once they acquired enough of what was needed to make a batch of candy, his grandma would then make said batch of horehound candy in a big copper pot on top of her wood burning cook stove. Now my grandpa couldn't for the life of him remember what when into making that candy (other than the horehound). But he did remember when it was near to being done it was poured out on to a well greased cookie sheet like peanut brittle, allowed to cool, and then broken up into chunks to be eaten. So if anyone could help, I sure would like the opportunity to mess up my kitchen a little more than I usually do one Saturday afternoon in an attempt at making a batch of this goody for myself! All The Best To You & Yours, Mr. Cary Jeffries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
