Nevada Mountain Honey

1½ pints of water. ½ ounce alum.

Put in a kettle and boil. Add to this 4 pounds white sugar. Boil three minutes after it has dissolved. Skim. Strain while hot. Take 3 drops of oil of rose to ½ pint of alcohol, and put 1 large teaspoonful of this to the above mixture. An excellent imitation of honey, and a fine article for sale.

Artificial Cuba Honey

10 pounds brown sugar. 2 pounds old bee honey.

1 quart water.

1 teaspoonful cream-tartar.

2 teaspoonfuls gum Arabic.

Mix and boil three minutes. Add to this 1 quart of water beaten up with 1 egg, and continue boiling five or six minutes, removing any scum that may rise. Take from the fire, and when nearly cold, add 2 pounds more of bee honey, 1 teaspoonful essence peppermint, 2 teaspoonfuls extract rose. One-half the recipe is a good quantity.

Lemon Honey

Yolks of 6 eggs and whites of 2. Juice of 6 lemons, grated yellow rinds of 2. 1 cupful of butter. 1 pound of lump sugar.

Mix thoroughly and set the bowl containing the mixture in a sauce-pan of boiling water. Stir until it is of the consistency of honey.

It will keep two weeks or more in a cool place, and is a very nice filling for layer cakes, tarts, or may be served with bread and butter for tea.
