Hoarhound Candy
Source of Recipe
The Riggs Family Cookbook - Braggs, OK
Recipe Introduction
Original recipe from the Myrtle Riggs Davidson Cookbook - circa 1900
List of Ingredients
2 ounces dried hoarhound granulated sugar
3 pints water
lemon juice
The proper method is first to make a decoction of the hoarhound. Boil 20 minutes, then strain and press off the liquid through a hair sieve. To each pint of this, take 2 pounds sugar and place upon the fire and stir until the sugar is dissolved; when it boils, add the juice of half a good-sized lemon. Boil to the hard crack, being careful to keep the sides of the pan perfectly free from the minute crystals deposited there by the steam from the boiling sugar; this can be easily done by washing them occasionally with a wet sponge or cloth. As the sugar comes to the hard crack, pour it upon a cold, greased marble slab and when cool enough, turn in the edges and cut the batch into suitable bars or squares.
