From Mrs. J. H. Barnard

Six tablespoonfuls water, 2 cupfuls sugar. Soak 2 tablespoonfuls gelatine in 6 tablespoonfuls of water, pinch of salt. Heat sugar and 6 tablespoonfuls of water until dissolved; let it just come to the boil; add gelatine and beat all together 10 minutes. Add tea-spoonful of vanilla and the well beaten white of one egg, and beat 10 minutes more, or until soft enough to settle in sheet. Have granite pans thickly dusted with confectioner's sugar and corn-starch (half and half) ; pour in the candy about half an inch deep, and when thoroughly cold cut in cubes and roll in confectioner's sugar.

From Mrs. J. J. Miller

Dissolve 1 box of Knox's gelatine in 12 tablespoon-fuls of cold water. Boil 4 cups of granulated sugar in 16 tablespoonfuls of cold water until it will form a ball when tested in cold water; beat this syrup into the gelatine slowly until cold. Roll in powdered sugar, and cut into squares.
