I've only done one candy (and those who were at the Pennsic get-together
can atest that the result was an ah, mixed success) so I can't give you 
any favorite recommendations. But you might want to take a look at these
files in the FOOD-SWEETS section of my Florilegium files:

candy-msg        (109K)  8/31/98    Period candy. Recipes. Candied fruit peels.

Sugar"
