Thank you, but that isn't my reason. I am hoping to expand my library and
knowledge of period food tricks. There have been a number of references to
Delights that I wanted to read it/own it. Using cooked sugar will just make
it easier for me as that is what I am used to doing. It's amazing how easy
it is to work sugar, but ouch can it burn ya.
