one tablespoon of butter and one tablespoon of cream of tartar until a bit of the mixture dropped into cold water will harden. Turn the candy into a deep buttered basin. So soon as it cools enough to permit it cover the hands with confectioner's sugar and pull it into long narrow strips. Take the shears and cut the candy into inch lengths, wrapping each piece in paraffin paper. Candied Dates Two cupfuls of granulated sugar; one-half cup of water; pinch of cream of tartar; boil together until a little dropped into cold water will become brittle. Drop the dates into the mixture about half a dozen at a time. When they are well covered with the sugar, place on buttered plates to dry. Nuts and figs may also be candied in this way. Horehound Candy Steep one tablespoonful of horehound leaves in one cupful of boiling water. When the liquid becomes cold, strain and add one pound of granulated sugar and a teaspoonful of vinegar. Boil slowly, removing any scum that may come to the surface, but do not stir. Drop a little of the candy into cold water. When it becomes brittle pour the mixture into buttered tins.
