List of Ingredients
Break slippery-elm bark into small pieces, put into a half pint
cup as much of the bark as it will hold, and pour in enough hot
water to fill to the brim; let the bark soak in this for an hour. Fill
another half-pint cup half full of whole flaxseed and brim this
with hot water, leaving the seed to soak for an hour. At the end
of that time put three cups of brown sugar in a saucepan, strain
the water from the slippery elm and the flaxseed, and add to the
sugar. Stirring constantly, cook until the sugar has boiled past
the sirup stage and becomes sugary again; turn out into a
buttered tin and when it is cold break into small pieces. This is
better if flavored to taste with lemon juice.
