Syrup Candy

1. 1

   Fill an iron skillet with cane syrup about half full; heat to boiling and continue to boil gently until syrup thickens.

2. 2

   (To test for proper consistency, pull a spoon through the candy halfway across the pan; the path of the spoon should remain intact, revealing the bottom of the pan.)

3. 3

   Remove from heat.

4. 4

   Add 1 teaspoon of baking soda and stir well.

5. 5

   Pour syrup into a buttered dish and allow to cool enough to handle.

6. 6

   Pull candy with well-greased hands until cooled and hardened.

7. 7

   Shape into strips and cut into bite size pieces.
