lean's Homemade Candu Is the Envu of
Her Friends; Here's How She Makes It
"Whenever we have club at your
house, Jean, you serve the loveliest
and roost delicious candies. Do you
really make them all yourself?"
"Yes, I do. I really like them
and I do so enjoy making candy."
The bridge tables were preoc
cupied, but not so much as to pre
sent comments on the ever wel
come candy. Jean was an excel
lent cook, and she certainly could
make wonderful candies.
"I've tried lots of recipes, but my
candles never taste like yours.
Won't you give us the secret to
tho richness of yours?"
"Why, of course. It's really so
simple. I just use recipes calling
far evnporated milk and follow
l(?m carefully. You sec, evap
orated milk is so much richer than
ordinary milk that I can have
delicious candy around most of the
time. My family prefers It to any
randy they can buy. You are wel
come to any of my recipes that
7on wish."
Here are some of them:
