Candied Roots, Fruits, Or Flowers

It is not easy to get the law killed. Something of a legal disposition remains even in the believer while he is in this world. Many a stroke does self and self-righteousness get, but still it revives again. If he were wholly dead to the law, he would be wholly dead to sin. But so far as the law lives, sin lives. They that think they know the gospel well enough betray their ignorance. No man can be too evangelical [gospel-centered]. It will take all his life-time to get a legal temper destroyed.

Hous-wife These suckets are delicate and easy to  make.  You'll be
amazed how carrots and parsnips turn into candy. If  using fresh
flowers, choose only unblemished, unsprayed blossoms.  Wash them gently
in cool water, and drain on paper towels. Do not  experiment with wild
flowers unless you are certain they are edible.  In a heavy saucepan,
combine rose water and sugar. Bring to a boil.  Add vegetable or fruit
slices or flower petals.  Stir. 3. Return to a  boil; reduce heat to a
gentle boil and cook for 15 minutes. 4. As  soon as sugar begins to
caramelize (it will turn light brown), remove  pan from heat. 5. Remove
vegetable or fruit slices or flower petals,  and set them on waxed
paper.  Refrigerate for 10 minutes. 6. Peel  candies off waxed paper
and store them in an airtight container.  Yield:  about 2 dozen candies
