Cream Candy

Put one tablespoonful of butter, two tablespoonfuls of vinegar, one teacupful of water and two pounds of lump sugar into a saucepan and boil the mixture for twenty minutes. Before removing it from the fire add a little extract of vanilla or essence of lemon, and pour it into a flat tin dish, stirring it until quite cold. It is then ready for use.
