candying

The art or business of the confectioner or sugar-baker; the candying of sugar.

In this connection, also, I should like to direct the attention of our rural women to the art of preserving and candying fruit.

To candy it, do not add the syrup, but observe the directions given for candying fruit; some may be done each way.

Select firm-textured fruit and boil until tender in water before placing in the syrup; then proceed as in candying the cherries.
