2 1/2 cups of sugar
1 cup of water
1/5 teaspoon cream of tartar
Directions:
1. combine ingredients. Heat to the boiling point, stirring until sugar dissolves.
2.Continue boiling, brushing syrup from sides of pan until the temperture reaches (238* on a candy thermometer) or until a small amount dropped into cold water will form a soft ball.
3. Remove to a shallow dish. When lukewarm, stir until white and creamy. add any desired flavoring or coloring. Cool.
