You might check these files in the FOOD-SWEET-DECORATED section of my
Florilegium files:
candy-msg (136K) 9/23/99 Period candy. Recipes. Candied fruit peels.
Candying-art (9K) 6/29/99 Period and modern descriptions of the
candying process by Alys Katharine.
These two articles might also be useful, but I can't remember if they give
candying directions or not:
Roses-a-Sugar-art (21K) 7/15/98 "Divers Pretty Things Made Of Roses &
Sugar"
by Mistress Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.
