Although not perfect, confectioners will find this little +volume a useful one, if not invaluable. Its utility even to those who +are skilled in the art of candy making appears to the writer to be +great. But it is more especially designed for confectioners whose +business does not justify their securing the services of skilled +workmen. Many confectioners would be glad to exhibit to their customers +a fine display of choice hand-made candies, knowing that by so doing +they would soon increase their trade, but the wages of a good workman, +in this line, are high, and he can not afford to keep one. The prices +asked for the goods, by those that will wholesale them, make them too +expensive to be practical, and at the same time the goods do not ship in +good order, even if he had a favorable opportunity of buying them, so he +is obliged to handle a line of cheap goods, which seldom give any +satisfaction, or at least, do not create a desire for candies from his +place; hence, his trade, or what should be his trade, is swallowed up by +those whose goods are fresh and tempting. To such, the importance of +this little volume, ready at call, to assist the confectioner in making +a fine line of counter goods, is too plain to require discussion.</p> + +<p>In conclusion, I earnestly hope these practical receipts will be an +acceptable offering to a very large number of confectioners, whose +prosperity I would promote. To them it is commended with the respects of +the author.</p> + +<p class="right">G. V.

confectionery, and he can not expect to manufacture +first-class goods except from first-class material; hence, select only +Sugar that is perfectly dry and of uniform quality, and in white, hard, +sparkling crystals; only such Sugar will give satisfaction.</p> + +<p>In addition to selecting Sugar, particular attention must be paid to the +changes that Sugar undergoes in passing from one degree to another while +cooking, and also its action when united with such ingredients as cream +of tartar, glucose, molasses, nuts, fruits, etc. This must be done if +one expects to be a proficient workman in the art of making fine +candies.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p class="center"><span class="big">FACTS FOR THE WORKMAN.</span></p> + +<p>To have the following receipts produce the results desired certain +conditions are imposed on the workman. In the first place, the best of +Confectioner's Sugar must be used. Second, one quart of water to each +six pounds of sugar, unless more than eighteen pounds is used, in<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_10" id="Page_10">[10]</a></span> which +case, add only one pint of water to each additional six pounds. Third, +the amount of cream of tartar or glucose mentioned in each receipt. +Fourth, that all goods are to be cooked over a rapid fire unless +otherwise ordered. To show the importance of this I will illustrate: In +several places I have said "cook the sugar until it begins to turn +yellow or about 330° by the thermometer." Now, if the best sugar, right +amount of cream of tartar and water, and the batch is boiled over a +rapid fire, it will not vary but a degree or so from turning at 330°, +but if a lower grade of sugar is used, more cream of tartar, more water, +and the batch is boiled over a slow fire, the sugar will turn probably +before the batch reaches 300°, and the goods when made would soon become +sticky and unfit for the counter. There are often times when a poorer +grade of sugar must be worked and there is no reason why poor goods +should be made from it, but good judgment is necessary. If the sugar is +damp, use only water enough to dissolve it, use less cream of tartar and +cook over a very rapid fire; yet, such sugar can not be used for +first-class goods, and should not be used at all unless the best can not +be procured.</p> + +<p>In flavoring candies never use ether flavors, only pure fruit extracts +and oils.</p> + +<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_11" id="Page_11">[11]</a></span>Put all hard sugar goods, as soon as made, into air tight tin boxes, so +they are not exposed to the atmosphere until needed for the counter.</p> + +<p>In coloring the cheaper grades of hard candies, always make decided +colors, but in the finer hard goods and cream work make only delicate +shades.</p> + +<p>Always dissolve cream of tartar in a small quantity of water before +adding it to the batch.</p> + +<p> </p> +<p class="center"><span class="big">DEGREES OF BOILING SUGAR.</span></p> + +<p class="center">THREAD.</p> + +<p>The first degree found in boiling Sugar is called the Thread.

Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm + +Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of +electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of computers +including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It exists +because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations from +people in all walks of life. + +Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the +assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's +goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will +remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project +Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure +and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future generations. +To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation +and how your efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 +and the Foundation web page at https://www.pglaf.org. + + +Section 3. Information about the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive +Foundation + +The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non profit +501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the laws of the +state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status by the Internal +Revenue Service. The Foundation's EIN or federal tax identification +number is 64-6221541. Its 501(c)(3) letter is posted at +https://pglaf.org/fundraising.

Newby + Chief Executive and Director + gbnewby@pglaf.org + + +Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/37073-h/images/iCover.jpg b/37073-h/images/iCover.jpg Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..6eca670 --- /dev/null +++ b/37073-h/images/iCover.jpg |
