mixed and free from lumps. Stir in 1/2 pint of the best powdered sugar, and 4
large tablespoonfuls of molasses. Let the whole boil fast and constantly (so as
to bubble) for at least 1 hour or more, till it is nearly as stiff as good mush.
When all is done add a small teaspoonful of essence of vanilla, and transfer the
mixture to shallow tin pans, slightly greased with very nice sweet oil. Set it
on ice or in a very cool place, and while yet soft mark it deeply in squares
with a very sharp knife. When quite hard cut the squares apart. If it does not
harden well it has not been boiled long enough or fast enough.
