Turkish Paste, Mint Flavored Recipe 2 ingredients

• ½ cup of cold water
• 2 tablespoonfuls of lemon juice
• 3 tablespoonfuls of granulated gelatine
• 4 tablespoonfuls of creme-de-menthe cordial
• Green color-paste to tint very delicately
• 2 cups of granulated sugar
• ½ cup of cold water

To prepare this Turkish Paste, Mint Flavored Recipe 2, first let the gelatine stand in a 1/2 cup of water until it has absorbed the liquid. Stir the sugar and other portion of water over a slack fire until the sugar is dissolved, then add the softened gelatine and heat to the boiling point; let boil twenty minutes after boiling begins; remove from the fire and let cool a little, then add the lemon juice, creme-de-menthe, and coloring and turn into an unbuttered bread-pan. Let stand in a cool place overnight. To unmold sift XXXX, or confectioner's, sugar over the top of the paste; with a sharp-pointed knife, loosen the candy at the edge, where it adheres to the pan, then gently and slowly pull the past, in a compact sheet, from the pan and dispose on a board dredged with confectioner's sugar. Cut the paste into strips and then in cubes with a sharp knife. This may be done easily, if sugar be kept between the knife and the paste. Roll each piece in the sugar. This candy is at its best after a few days.

These candies may be stirred gently, if it seems necessary.
