PREFACE
Candy bought in the stores is likely to be expensive, poorly
made, or impure. Candy made at home need be none of these
things. And how enjoyable the process of candy making! What a
pleasure it is some afternoon or evening when there is time to
spare, to gratify the appetite with some confection, easily made!
Even the little folks may take part, may help in the exciting
business of manufacture, learn something of the mysteries of the
kitchen, gain a little in power to use their head and hands. All of
us enjoy the process and relish the product. Why, candy making
is one of those all important household pleasures that make
family life mean what it does. The hours thus spent are an
intimate part of that life. The writer believes, therefore, that she
serves all home lovers in compiling this book. Its recipes have
been thoroughly tried and tested in our school kitchens. They
are simple and well adapted for ordinary use. It is in the hope
that they will be the source of many a pleasant time at home that
this work is committed to its readers.
