Horehound Candy RecipeOrigin: Britain Period: Traditional |
Ingredients
1l pot of loosely-packed horehound leaves and stems 
Horehound Candy Preparation:Method:Add the horehound leaves and stems to a large pot along with the water and form a strong brew by boiling briskly for half an hour. Strain the liquid into a fresh pan and add the sugar (discard the leaves). Heat the liquid gently until the sugar dissolves then bring to a boil and add the butter. Continue to boil until the syrup reaches the hard ball stage. This is when a tsp of the liquid forms a hard ball when dropped into cold water (about 120°C on a confectioner's thermometer). Pour the syrup into a shallow, well buttered, tin and allow to cool. Just before it sets mark the candy into squares and leave to harden completely. Ad this point cut the toffee into squares and store in an air-tight jar. Traditionally these were given to children as cough drops. |
