    This branch of the trade or business of a confectioner is perhaps the most important" ll

    manufacturers are more or less interested in it, and certainly no retail shop could be considered

    orthodo hich did not display a tempting !ariety of this class" )o inclusi!e is the term Nboiled

    goodsN that it embraces drops, rocks, candies, taffies, creams, caramels, and a number of

    different sorts of hand$made, machine$made, and moulded goods" 8t is the most ancient method

    of hich e ha!e any knoledge, and perhaps the most popular process of modern timesO the

    e!idence of our e!eryday eperience con!inces us that @notithstanding the boom hich heraldsfrom time to time a ne seet, cooked in a different manner, composed of ingredients hitherto

    unused in businessA, it is the eception hen such goods hold the front rank for more than a fe

    months, hoe!er pretty, tasty, or tempting they may be, the public palate seems to fall back on

    those made in the old lines hich, though capable of impro!ement, seem not to be superceded"

    +f the entire make of confectionery in Canada, at least to$thirds of it may be ritten don

    under the name of boiled sugar" They are undoubtedly the chief features ith both

    manufacturers and retailers, embracing, as they do, endless facilities for fertile brains and deft

    fingers for in!enting no!elties in design, manipulation, combination, and finish" ;otithstanding

    the already great !ariety, there is alays daily something ne in this department brought into

    market" Many of the most successful houses oe their popularity more to their heads than their

    hands, hence the importance of studying this branch in all its ramifications" The endless

    assortment re=uiring different methods for preparing and manipulating make it necessary to sub$

    di!ide this branch into sections, order and arrangement being so necessary to be thoroughly

    understood" Mhen e consider the fe ineEpensi!e tools re=uired to make so many kinds of

    saleable goods, it is not to be ondered at so many retailers ha!e a fancy to make their on

    toffees and such like, there is no reason hy a man or oman, ith ordinary patience, a illing

    and energetic disposition, fa!ored ith a fair amount of intelligence, should not be able to

    become ith the aid of T78) B++< and a fe dollars for tools, fairly good sugar boilers, ith a

    fe months practice"

    There are reasons hy a retail confectioner should study sugar boiling" 8t gi!es character to the

    business, a fascinating odour to the premises, and a general at$homeness to the surroundings" ;o

    goods look more attracti!e and tempting to the seet eating public than fresh made goods of

    this kind" bright indo can be only so kept by makers" Grainy or sticky drops may be reboiledO

    scraps and hat ould otherise be almost aste @at least unsightlyA may be redressed in

    another shape, and become, not only saleable, but profitable" There are many ad!antages hich

    a maker possesses o!er one ho buys all" For instance, clear boiled goods should be kept air

    tight, and are therefore deli!ered to the retailers in bottles, jars, or tins, on hich charge is made,

    these ha!e to be repacked and returned" Breakages are an important item, so is freightIthe cost

    of the latter is sa!ed and the former reduced to a minimum"

    hate!er means are adopted to benefit the retailer and ad!ertise the business by brighter

    indos, cleaner shops, less faded goods, and healthier financial conditions must contribute tothe general prosperity of the trade, from the bottom step to the top rung of the ladder"

    8t should be the aim of all amateurs to study =uality rather than price" Goods ell made, carefully

    7a!ing so far got our orkshop arranged the net thing is to keep it in order" )ugar boiling is dirty

    sticky business, especially on et days, unless e!ery part is kept scrupulously clean and dry, slabs

    and tables should be ashed, no trace of sifting, scraps, or boiled goods, should be left eposed

    to the atmosphere during the night, the floor ell sept, and a little clean sadust put don

    e!ery night"

    The comfort and ease in orking in a clean place far more than offsets the trouble and time ittakes to put it in order, besides the goods are much drier, brighter and easier to bottle or pack"

    ;othing is more unpleasant than to ork ith sticky slabs, slimy machines or dirty scales" The

    boil adheres to the slabs, sticks to the rollers, spoiling the shapes, and become cloudy and spotty

    in eighing" e are not riting ithout knoledge" ny one ho has orked or !isited small

    orkshops can endorse the !alue of these remarks, and call to mind this imaginary picture"

    7oe!er, there are eceptions, still the hint ill be useful in a good many cases"

    8f the learner ill study the folloing instructions, the author guarantees to place him in a

    position to boil sugar as correctly as the most eperienced orkman" To accomplish this, the

    reader should pro!ide himself ith the sugar boiler's tools named on the preceding page" hile

    the sugar is undergoing the process of boiling, it is almost impossible for a learner to determine

    the eact degree hich the sugar has attained ithout a thermometer, and e!en the journeyman

    finds it so useful that you ill find !ery fe indeed ho boil sugar ithout itO in fact many of the

    larger shops ill not allo a sugar boiler to ork ithout one" For almost any purpose the

    folloing degrees ill be found all that is necessary" For instance put into the pan in hich youintend to boil, lbs" granulated sugar together ith one =uart of ater, placing it on the fire and

    allo it to boil" Put a co!er o!er the pan and allo it to boil for ten minutesO then take off the

    co!er and put the thermometer in the pan, immersing the bottom part of it in the boiling sugar,

    and let it remain there until the sugar is boiled to the degree you re=uire" The folloing fi!e

    degrees are those used by confectioners for different purposes&

    candies, cocoanut ice, and almost e!ery description of grain sugar generally"

    Kth" The Crack, !iD", 1- to 1K" This is the degree hich is used, ith little !ariation, for all kinds

    of drops, taffies, and all clear goods, hether for the purpose of passing through machines or

    manipulating ith the hands"These degrees can be tested by an eperienced hand ithout the aid of the thermometer, and

    the learner may accustom himself by trying them in the folloing manner& Take the stem of a

    clay pipe and dip it into the sugar as it boils, dra it out again and pass it through the forefinger

    and thumbO hen it feels oily you ill find by looking at your thermometer that it has reached the

    degree of smooth, K to - by the glass"

    The net degree or thread, may be tried by your taking a little of the sugar off the pipe beteen

    your finger and thumb and part them gentlyO if you see small threads hang beteen your finger

    and thumb that degree has arri!ed"

    For the degree of Ball, K- to KK, you must ha!e by your hand a small jug of cold aterO hen

    you dra the pipe out of the sugar dip it in the ater, and hen taken out of the ater, if youcan ork it like a piece of putty, you ha!e got the degree of ball"

    The degree of Crack must be tested the same ay, and the sugar must lea!e the pipe cleanO dip it

    again into cold aterO hen off the pipe break off a piece ith your teethO if it snaps clean in your

    teeth, pour your sugar on the slab at once"

    ;+TE"IThis last degree must be tried sharply, in gi!ing the process for trying it ithout the

    thermometer" e caution all beginners to get a thermometer, as practice alone can instruct you

    ithout" 8t is also necessary to state that thermometers differ a little, and should be tested"

    hen turned out of the pan becomes cloudy, then grainy, and ultimately a solid lump of hard

    opa=ue sugar" To pre!ent this candying, as it is called se!eral agents are used, such as glucose,

    cream of tartar pyroligneous acid, !inegar Jc", the action of hich ill cause the sugar to boil

    clear, be pliable hile hot and transparent hen cold" 8t is therefore necessary to use some

    loering agent for all boilings intended for clear goods, such as drops, taffies, rocks" Jc"

    Eperience has taught most of the old hands that to of these agents possess all the merits

    necessary for the purpose, and are to be preferred to others for reasons it is unnecessary to

    stateIthey are cream of tartar and glucose" great deal could be said in fa!or of either or bothO

    cream of tartar is handier and cleaner to use as ell as more eact in its actionO goods boiled ith

    it ill be a better color and, some assert, more crispO for acids and all best and eport goods it is

    to be recommendedIuse a proportion of half an ounce to e!ery H lbs" of sugarIe say about,

    as some strong sugars re=uire a little more, this is generally measured in a teaspoon, to

    spoonfuls to e!ery H lbs" of sugar"

    Glucose, being cheaper than sugar, is !aluable to the confectioner, not only for its loering=ualities, but also as a bulk producer, reducing the cost of the product" +n this account there is a

    tendency to o!erdo it by using too much, the result causing goods to become sticky and turn soft

    immediately they are eposed to the atmosphere, not only so, but e ha!e seen drops running

    to a solid lump in bottles through being o!erdosed" 8f glucose is used in proper proportions, it

    makes an ecellent loering agent, and ill anser the purpose first rate for ordinary drops and

    the like" :se three lbs" of glucose to e!ery H lbs" of sugarO keep a panful on the furnace top, so

    that it ill alays be hot and may be easily measured by means of a saucepan or ladle holding

    the eact =uantityO add the glucose hen sugar begins to boil"

    These form almost as important a part of the trade as the sugar itself, and it should be the chief

    object of e!ery orkman to try and ecel in these to important featuresO if you do not use good

    fla!ors, it is a moral certainty you cannot produce good candies" Fla!ors for boiled sugars should

    be specially prepared, those bought at an ordinary chemist shop may do !ery ell for fla!oring

    custards and pastry, but are of no use for boiled sugars, in fact better use no essence at all, as

    they are so eak that, to gi!e the drops Jc", e!en a slight taste the =uantity re=uired reduces the

    degree to hich the sugar has been boiled so much that it orks like putty, and sticks to the

    machine hile being pressed throughO the drops hen finished look dull, dragged and stick

    together hen bottledO tons of drops are eekly spoiled by small makers using such fla!ors,hile a little trouble and less epense ould put them out of their misery, besides gi!ing to the

    goods that clear bright dry appearance to be found in the drops of a respectable house"

    8t must be remembered that the fla!or is the !ery life of the candy" Color may please the eye, but

    ecellence in that alone is not all that is re=uired" buyer may be attracted by the eye, but he

    does not eat ith it" ;either old or young ould knoingly eat only colored sugar" seet taste

    may be satisfied ith sugar alone"

    8t is the !ariety of pleasant fla!ors that is desired and it is the business of the confectioner to

    supply it" Fla!ors for sugar boiling should be as concentrated as it is possible for it to be" )e!eral

    large houses ho ha!e confined their attention to the ants and re=uirements of the

    confectionery and mineral ater trades ha!e succeeded in producing fruit essences of =uality,hich is a pleasure to ork ith" Being !ery poerful, little is re=uired to gi!e the boil rich fla!or,

    conse=uently it passes through the machine easily, forming a perfect drop on hich the clear

    imprint of the engra!ing characteristic of the machine used" Essential oils used by confectioners

    are those ha!ing an agreeable aromatic fla!or, and should be used in their original strength,

    ithout being adulterated or reduced" 8t is absolutely necessary that they should be pure and

    fresh, more particularly the oils of lemon and orange, as hen not fresh and pure they partake of

    the fla!or of turpentine, and are particularly unpleasant to the taste"

    )mall makers ould do ell to buy carefully from a good house not more than ould be used up

    in to or three months, especially the to before mentioned" )ome oils on the contrary, impro!e

    by keeping such as peppermint and la!ender" ll essences and oils are best kept ell corked in acool dark place"

    These oils being poerful, popular and epensi!e, they are fre=uently adulterated" Cream of

    tartar and tartaric acid on account of the price is often increased, the former ith different cheap

    poders, the latter usually ith alum" Many people fail in the process through no fault of their

    on, but simply through their being supplied ith inferior ingredients, it is therefore of

    importance, that colors and fla!ors should be purchased at some respectable houseO get list of

    oils' etracts and essences from Fletcher Mnf'g" Co" ho are large dealers in these goods"

    a little fresh fuel or ashes o!er the fire and replace the pan again" )hould it again catch, repeat

    the operation nursing it up to the desired degree" Bad boiling sugar is !ery troublesome" good

    plan is to make a rule of straining the batch just after it boils, through a !ery fine copper ire or

    hair sie!e, this pre!ents foreign matter such as grit, sa dust or e!en nails, hich is often mied

    different sugars ill carry more or less loering, but this can be easily tested by the orkman"

    fe eperiments ill determine the eact =uantity for each boil" There is no ecuse for drops

    sticking in bottles hen corked, this should not occur, if it does, the fault is in the makingO the

    ater has a great deal to do ith causing the candies to be sticky" The riter has eperienced this

    in se!eral country places, here the only supply of this indispensable ingredient as dran from

    the artesian ells" To look at it, it as all that could be desiredIa beautiful, cold, clear and

    holesome be!erage" +f its chemical constituents 8 do not pretend to gi!e an opinion, but thedrops and other clear boils for hich it as used got damp directly after they ere eposed, and

    ould ha!e run to a syrup had they not been co!ered up" The goods keep all right in bottles, but

    it is !ery annoying, not to speak of the injury and loss to a business, hen this is the position ith

    regard to the ater supply" The only remedy e could suggest, and hich as !ery successful,

    as podered bora" e used this in the proportion of a teaspoonful to e!ery H lbs" of sugar

    adding it just as the sugar began to boil" Bora has been found useful ith any ater hen

    making goods to be eposed in the indo or on the counters, such as taffies, rocks and clear

    boiled sugars generally" here the supply of ater, as in most large tons is suitable, gi!en good

    sugar, cream of tartar or glucose, in proper proportions, and careful boiling up to the standard,

    the addition of bora is unnecessary and should only be resorted to under special circumstances"P%8; TFF#"
