SC - purple fleur de lis?

[LyAngharad@aol.com]

  IIRC, Cindy had problems with it 
>"setting up" and becoming firm, rather than tacky.

My mother's "rule" for candy making was that the house must be cool and 
the humidity low for the sugar to behave properly. If it's warm or the 
air is humid, the sugar will not want to set up even if you had gotten 
the syrup to the right temperature.  If the weather doesn't cooperate, 
the air conditioning system will! 

My rule is forget all the glasses of water and tilting the syrup on 
saucers crap, get a candy thermometer and use it!  

Bonne
