SC - candies almonds

[Mordonna22@aol.com]

Well, I found the long lost recipe.  Of course I thought it was period, 
but now I'm not sure how old it is, or even where I found it (on the 
internet somewhere).  I haven't tried it yet, since I don't have the 
Ground Ginger or Lemon Esscance.  Of course, if anyone has any info, or 
has even tried it, then please share your thoughts!

Butterscotch (a very old Edinburgh Recipie)

Ingredients:

1lb. Brown Sugar
1/4oz. Powdered Ginger or Essence of lemon
4oz. Butter

Directions:
  Place the pound of Brown Sugar in an enameled sauce pan and let it 
dissolve on the range.  Beat 4 ounces of butter to a cream, add it to 
the sugar when dissolved, and stir over the fire until it has boiled 
sufficiently to harden when dropped into cold water.  Add a quarter 
ounce of powdered ginger dissolved in a little water or a little essence 
of lemon.  Beat with a fork for a few minutes.  Pour onto a buttered 
slab or dish and when sufficiently cool, mark into squares. When cold, a 
slight tap will break them off into squares.
