Cocoanut Cream Balls

1 pound pulverized sugar. 1 teaspoonful powdered gum arabic. 5 tablespoonfuls water. 2 tablespoonfuls cocoanut, minced. 2 tablespoonfuls currants, minced. 1 teaspoonful lemon extract.

Dissolve the gum in the water hot and stir in the sugar gradually, flavor, fruit and cocoanut. Work the paste on the table with sugar until it is firm enough, cut off pieces and roll into balls a little larger than cherries. Sugar well outside and let dry. The same can be made with candy colored pink. The foregoing kinds are all easy to make because there is no boiling of sugar.
