Candies

2380 Soft ball.

2400 Medium ball.

2480 Hard ball.

2900 Small crack.

3100 Crack.

3500 Caramel.

To test for soft ball, lift pan from fire, dip a spoon in cold water, then into the syrup, then into the cold water again. If it comes off in a soft ball, it is at the right stage.

At soft ball stage, the ball will just keep in shape.

To prevent crystallization, cook in covered pan until syrup is boiling. Crystals on the sides steam off. With milk mixtures, watch carefully and remove lid in time to prevent boiling over.

In fondant making, do not scrape pan. The temperature of last few drops may be different enough to cause trouble.

Smoother fudge may be obtained by pouring into another pan after taking from the fire. Do not scrape pan. Wait until a crust has formed before beating.

Dipped candies keep well.

Results are better if candy is made in clear, cold weather.
