HOW TO MAKE STOCK SYRUP
Put one pound of granulated sugar into a saucepan; add one pint of water and bring slowly to boiling-point; then remove the scum from the surface. Put on the 3 lid, and boil for four minutes to allow the condensing steam to clear any crystals of sugar from the sides of the pan.
Boil gently for twenty-five minutes.
Remove from the fire, allow it to cool, and bottle for use.
HOW TO CLARIFY STOCK SYRUP
After making the syrup in the usual way pour it in a steady stream over the stiffly beaten whites of eggs, allowing two whites of eggs to one pound of sugar.
