Marshmallows
2 cups sugar. 1 cup water. 3 small pinches cream tartar. 2 tablespoons gelatin soaked in 7 tablespoons water.
Put on to cook, when sugar threads beat in gelatin and when hard spread on marble with powdered sugar.
— Miss Randel'S Penoche
3 cups light brown sugar. 1 cup granulated sugar. 1 cup chopped nuts. 1 cup milk. 2 tablespoons butter. 1 teaspoon vanilla.
Cook sugar and milk until it forms soft ball between the fingers, when tried in cold water. Do not stir after it begins to boil. Remove from fire, add butter, letting it melt on top. When the outside of the saucepan feels cool, begin to beat the candy, adding nuts and flavoring. Beat until creamy and turn into buttered pan. If beaten too long, it will harden before it can be turned into the pan; in this case, a little more milk may be added to dissolve the sugar and made over; when cool, cut in squares.
