ALMOND CANDY (or HARDBAKE)

Boil one pound of sugar and half a pint of water until it becomes brittle when dropped in cold water; then add a quarter of a pound of almonds blanched and split, the juice of half a lemon, and one ounce of butter. Boil until the candy hardens at once in the water. Pour it out on a well-oiled dish. When cold, it may be taken off the plate and kept for use in a tin box. Time, half an hour. Probable cost, 7d.
