The Toothsome Caramel.

Although so many of our pleasantest things come from Erance, the caramel is an American invention of not quite a dozen years’ standing. It was not known in Europe till about six years ago; and it is now made there by only one firm of confectioners—a London house. A pint of cream to three pounds of sugar will make a goodly quantity, boiled together, and the flavoring, of whatever desired nature, added when it reaches 260 degrees Fahrenheit. Pour out the mixture then on flat dishes to cool, and as it beg ns to “set,” which is very soon, cut it into little blocks with a sharp blade dipped in co'd water. These will be good for some time, and are about as innocent a confection as there is to be found.
