1 pound pulverized sugar.

1 teaspoon powdered gum arabic. 5 tablespoons water.

2 tablespoons cocoanut, minced. 2 tablespoons currants, minced. 1 teaspoon lemon extract.

Dissolve the gum in the water hot and stir in the sugar gradually, flavor, fruit and cocoanut. Work the paste on the table with sugar until it is firm enough, roll into one long cord half an inch thick, cut off pieces and roll into balls a little larger than cherries. Sugar well outside and let dry. The same can be made with candy colored pink. The foregoing kinds are all easy to make because there is no boiling of sugar.
