1/2 cupful water
2 cupfuls brown sugar
3 tablespoonfuls Crisco, melted
1 teaspoonful orange extract
1/4 teaspoonful salt
Dissolve sugar in water in saucepan over fire, and boil until it spins
a heavy thread, add Crisco and salt and boil until it forms a soft
ball when tested in cold water, or 240° F. Remove pan from fire, add
orange extract, allow to stand five minutes, then stir until the syrup
begins to "grain." Pour quickly into wet tin. When half cold, mark
into squares; leave till following day in a cool place; then break up.
Keep in airtight tins.
