Hoarhound Candy

Hoarhound 2 cups boiling water 2 pounds sugar White of 1 egg Pour the water on as much hoarhound as it will cover; steep it on a slow fire for several hours; then strain and put the same water on a fresh supply of hoarhound and steep as before. Add enough boiling water to make a full pint; strain and when cold add the beaten white of egg and the sugar. Boil it slowly until thick, removing the scum that rises. Test by dropping from a spoon into cold water: when it hardens quickly it is done. Pour into buttered tins; mark off in small squares and set aside to cool. When cold break it up and put it in glass jars.
