Sarah Tyson Rorer was a prolific author of cookbooks during the late 19th - early 20th centuries. Her primary concern was healthy eating and good nutrition. She was also a great proponent of the chafing dish. In Home Candy Making, Mrs. Rorer shares recipes for making home-made candies of various types. From the introductory sections on "Rules for Candy Making" and "Sugar Boiling", to recipes for making our own flavorings and colorings, this recipe book serves as a more than adequate introduction to the craft of home candy making.
