(from The Great Western Cook Book, Or Table Receipts: Adapted to Western Housewifery, by Anna Maria Collins, 1857)
Ingredients:
oil for tin moulds
brown sugar syrup
lemonessence
coloring optional
Instructions:
Have some little tin moulds, oil them neatly; take a quantity of brown sugar syrup, in the state called a blow, which may be known by dipping the skimmer into it and blowing through the holes, when parts of light may be seen; add a few drops of lemonessence. If the bon-bons are prepared white, when the sugar is cooled a little, stir it round the pan till it grains and shines on the surface, then pour it in a funnel; fill the little moulds; when they are hard and cold, take them out and put them in papers. If you wish to have them colored, put on the coloring while hot.
