Lecum

By: Jean Israel

Ingredients:

5 lbs sugar
1/2 carton of corn starch
9 cups water
1 lemon (juice)
1 cup walnuts
plenty of powdered sugar

Directions:

Combine sugar, cornstarch and water and start cooking. After an hour of stirring, add the juice of one lemon and continue stirring for another hour or so constantly.

To test if ready, put a little in a cup of water (like sharopee). If its firm, then its ready to pour into a pan that’s been sprinkled with powdered sugar.

The following day it will be ready to cut (with scissors) into small squares & keep adding powdered sugar as needed.
