Stick Candy
- 1 lb granulated sugar
- 1 cup water
- 1/4 cup vinegar or 1/2 tsp cream of tartar
- 1 Tbsp glycerine
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 2 tsps vanilla, rose or lemon flavoring
Boil all except the baking soda and flavoring, without stirring, for 20-30 minutes, or until crisp when dropped in water. Just before pouring on greased platters to cool, add the baking soda. After pouring onto the platters to cool, pour the flavoring across the top. When partly cool, pull it until very white. Draw it into sticks the size you wish, and cut off with shears into sticks or kiss-shaped drops. May be colored if your little heart desires.
