Vanilla Candy Tablets

Put one pound of loaf sugar into a sugar-boiler with just enough water to dissolve it. Boil the sugar to the ball degree, then pour in a few drops of acetic acid and flavor with essence of vanilla. Work the sugar against the sides of the pan with a silver spoon, using the back part of the bowl, thus giving it an opalized appearance. When through working the sugar, pour it into a tin dish, leaving it until it is nearly set, then mark the tablets out with the back of a knife on the surface of the sugar. Before the sugar is poured in, the tin should be lightly brushed over with the oil of almonds. Dry the sugar in the screen, and when it is hard, snap it in two where it is marked.
