A historical recipe

1930 Wewoka Cook Book, by City Federation of Women's Clubs (1930).

From an old book: a historical recipe, not current advice. Its methods, additives and storage may be unsafe by today's standards.

Ingredients 1 ingredient

  1. 1 lb sugar

Cook safely

Keep children and pets away from the hob and the oven, and keep oven gloves and a lid within reach.

  • Hot sugar. Hot sugar sticks to skin and burns far hotter than boiling water: don't touch or taste it. Keep a bowl of cold water close, and keep children away while it cooks.
  • Sharp knives. Cut on a board that doesn't slip (a damp cloth under it helps), and curl the fingers of the hand that holds the food.

Method

  1. 1 pt.
  2. strong tea infusion, 1-2 cup pineapple juice, 1-2 cup orange juice, 1-4 cup lemon juice, 1 pt.
  3. water, 1 lb sugar.
  4. Make a sugar syrup with water and sugar, then add hot tea and fruit juices, and dilute to desired strength and sweetness with hot water.
  5. Serve hot with cream or lemon or orange slice.
