Put that way , it makes perfect sense. I had, personally assumed that the
author of the original recipe left out the addition of water as something
'every woman' knows. Silly me. Thanks for clarifying this. When viewed in the
manner you propose the ;Ave; time instruction would most certainly fall within
the range of under half a minute.

Now the question is whether anyone had actually tried this recipe so they can
report the results of hands on experimentation. ;-) My own candy making skills
are atrocious.
