Cinnamon Balls

Ingredients

• 1 cupful sirup
• 2 cupfuls sugar
• 1 tablespoonful butter
• 1/8 teaspoonful salt
• 1 tablespoonful water
• 1 tablespoonful vinegar
• 1 tablespoonful ground cinnamon or 2 drops of oil of cinnamon

Instructions

Put all the ingredients except oil of cinnamon into a saucepan and boil to the crack stage. If oil of cinnamon is used for flavoring, add it to the mixture after cooking. Pour into a greased pan. When cool enough to handle, take a small portion and shape it into a ball. If the candy becomes too stiff to shape, it may be placed in an oven until it is soft enough to handle.

Oil of cinnamon produces a more pleasing flavor than ground cinnamon. However, the former is expensive. If it is added, the use of a medicine dropper prevents its waste.
