Orange-Flower Candy

Put one pound of doubly-refined loaf sugar into a saucepan with half a pint of water, and boil gently for ten minutes. Throw in two ounces of freshly-gathered orange-flowers, and leave them in the boiling syrup for five minutes, then turn them into a bowl, and let them remain for two days. Boil the syrup once more until it rises high in the pan; strain it upon sheets of paper which have been placed upon large flat dishes, and loosen it from the paper before it is quite cold. Store the candy in canisters until wanted for use; it will keep good some months. Probable cost, uncertain, orange-flowers being seldom offered for sale.
