2 pounds sugar.
½ pound glucose.
⅔ pint water.
Figs or dates.
Cook sugar, glucose and water on hot fire to 275 or 280. Then pour it
on well greased slab or platter, which has previously been covered with
figs cut up, or dates with seeds removed, putting in just as many as
you wish. You may also, if you wish, use nuts of any description in
place of the fruit, or part of each. Just before pouring the syrup over
them, stir into it a good teaspoonful of vanilla, but do not stir it
much or it may sugar for you. When cold break up in small pieces.
