1 cupful of granulated sugar, 4 cupsful of water. Boil together until crisp when tried in cold water. Boil slowly and never stir. Set the kettle in a pan of hot water while using to delay crystalizing. Take on the end of a long pin, or string or thread, sections of oranges, stoned cherries, or other fruits or halves of walnuts, Brazilian nuts, etc., dip into the syrup until thoroughly coated and let harden on oiled paper.
