Synopsis

Here is a book that will bring you back to a nostalgic day when children chose their penny candy with such self-deliberation. Candy plays an important part in every holiday. And it has a place in family celebrations, too....from the first lollipop of the children's party to the gold-wrapped cherry cordial at a golden wedding anniversary. So with this collection we learn to make candy - really good candy - beginning with the winter holiday favorites: candy popcorn, fondants of all descriptions, mint patties, marzipan and many kinds of hand-dipped chocolates. Spring is the time for East Eggs, divinity and nougats and fudge. For the summer holidays we have a choice of marshmallows, hard candies, crunch and brittle. In the fall there are the candied fruits, sugared nuts, caramels, pecan turtles and stuffed dates. And a chapter on wholesome candies for children....lollipops, taffy, candy sticks, spirals and candy apples on a stick. Successful candy-making is easy with the charts and tables and the helpful directions that Virginia Pasley provides. For instance, do you know that butter crunch will not separate if cooked in a heavy skillet instead of a saucepan? That caramels can be made by a new method that cuts the cooking time as much as two and a half hours? That even chocolate dipping can be conquered if you understand chocolate? This is more than a book of recipes, it is a complete, thoughtful guide to home candy making, including lists for equipment, general discussions of cooking techniques and instructions on storing, packing and even mailing the finished products.
