Heating the Syrup |
Here is the sugar boiling away on the hearth. The temperature it needed to reach depended on the kind of candy being made. Some candy was made from white sugar, some from brown sugar, and some from molasses. Once the syrup reached the perfect temperature, it was poured into some kind of mold to cool--even just on a baking sheet to be cut into little cubes. Of course, you could taste lots of homemade candy samples available in the kitchen. But only after you passed a quiz about the years that different kinds of candy first came out!

I'd say that's great motivation for passing a quiz! Did you pass? :)
Um, well, our group didn't do too well, but I guess we still qualified for candy! :D
