Dissolve a half-ounce of gum arabic in two tablespoonfuls of hot water; strain it through a cheese cloth, add it to a pound of granulated sugar; then put in a half-teaspoonful of cream of tartar and a cupful of water. Mix together and stir and heat until the sugar is dissolved; then boil, without stirring, until it hardens when tested in cold water. Pour into a buttered pan, and when it is cold enough to handle take it up and pull until it is white. Cut into the desired shape, and put in an air-tight jar for two hours.
