1 lb. granulated sugar
1 teacup cream

Mix it together and boil for 15 minutes, fast stirring all the time. Try it by dropping some in a cup of cold water; if right, it will not melt but feel gummy. Beat the white of an egg to a froth and stir the candy in it. Divide quantity, color 1 part with 4 drops of cochineal flavor with a little vanilla.

Butter a dish, then pour first one color and let it spread, then the other on top when partly cool. Divide it in squares with a knife.
