One of Alys' article is this one, which is available in the
FOOD-SWEETS-DECORATED section of my Florilegium:
Candying-art (9K) 6/29/99 Period and modern descriptions of the
candying process by Alys Katharine.
These other articles, though not b yAlys may also be of interest:
Roses-a-Sugar-art (21K) 7/15/98 "Divers Pretty Things Made Of Roses &
Sugar"
by Mistress Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.
Sugarplums-art (19K) 7/15/98 "Visions of Sugarplums" by Mistress
Renata Kestryl of Highwynds.
This file has a lot of info from Alys, although it is on sugar paste
rather than sugar candy:
sugar-paste-msg (89K) 7/20/99 Making sugar paste sotelties.
And these may prove useful for general information on period types of
sugar, sugar use and recipes:
sugar-msg (107K) 4/ 2/99 Sugar and other medieval sweeteners.
candy-msg (136K) 9/23/99 Period candy. Recipes. Candied fruit peels.
(this one has various confit recipes)
