Recipes for Caramel, Pulled Sugar, and
Sugar Ham in the 17th Century
Caramelle
Make some sugar cooked to the burning
smell, take it off the fire, put in a little
amber, rub a stone of marble or plate with
oil of sweet almonds, throw your caramel
on in little pieces as if preserves, and take
them up with a spoon.
Twisted Sugar
Make some sugar cooked to the burning
smell; take from the fire and throw it on a
marble stone that you have rubbed with
sweet-almond oil; rub your hands also, and
work it well, have iron hooks to pull and
draw out, and dress as a wreathed
marzipan.
