Transparent Sauce

2 pounds of granulated sugar, 1 pint of water. 4 ounces of fresh butter. 1/2 a lemon. 1 tablespoonful of whole spices--consisting of blades of mace, cloves, stick cinnamon and alspice.

Boil all together ten minutes--the lemon cut in pieces--then strain through a fine strainer. The juice of the lemon is essential to brighten the color of the sauce.
