[Sca-cooks] honey based candy

[Stefan li Rous]

Someone asked:
 >  When using  honey to make candy is not one of the steps
 > crystallization?  What would that be called ?

Unless you are trying to make the equivalent to rock candy, made from  
sugar, I'm not sure why you would need to crystallize the honey. For  
instance, there are period recipes for the honey-based versions of  
this pine-nut candy, which say just to heat the honey.

I'm sure there are other period recipes for honey based candies in  
the Florilegium. You might try the candy-msg file or try the search  
engine in the Florilegium.
