Serving Size  : 6    Preparation Time :0:00
Categories    : Candies

 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
  2       c            Sugar
    1/2   ts           Vanilla extract
    1/2   ts           Lemon extract
  2       c            Parched benne seed (sesame
                       -seeds, I think)

 "Benne seeds cannot be procured in many places, but
 the candy made with it is so delicious and so
 characteristic of Charleston that the recipe is here
 included."

 Add the extracts to the sugar.  Melt the sugar in a
 saucepan, stirring constantly, as for peanut brittle.
 When the sugar is melted, add the benne seed, stirring
 it in quickly.  Pour at once onto a marble slab to
 cool or pour into lightly buttered pans.  Mark in
 one-inch squares while still warm and break along the
 lines when cold.  --Mrs. Rhett
