then pour it in a funnel; fill the little moulds; when they are hard and cold,
take them out and put them in papers. If you wish to have them colored, put on
the coloring while hot.
CATSUP.
Boil tomatoes, full ripe, in their juice, to nearly the consistency of a pulp;
pass them through a hair sieve; add salt, cloves, pepper, ginger, nutmeg.
SWEET CATSUP.
Mix a glass of wine, a half glass of vinegar, three tea-spoonsful of thyme, a
lump of sugar, one sliced onion, a little cinnamon, and three cloves; boil them
a quarter of an hour.
TO MAKE BARLEY SUGAR.
Take a quantity of clarified sugar, in that state called crack; you can
ascertain this by dipping the end of your finger into the pan, if the sugar
adheres to it, it will break, with a slight noise; when the sugar is near this,
put in a little lemon-juice, or vinegar, to prevent its graining. When the sugar
has come to the crack, take it off instantly, and dip the pan in cold water, to
prevent its burning; let it stand a little, and then pour it on a marble, which
must be rubbed with oil, (the bottom of a china dish does just as well;) cut it
in small pieces; season with what you like best.
