Caraway Comfits

To succeed with any degree of perfection in making caraway seed comfits it is safest to make not more than a tablespoonful of seeds at a time; these must first be heated in the comfit pan, by stirring them over the chafing dish or portable gas stove with a wooden spoon and then giving the charges of sugar and gum as directed.

About six coatings will be sufficient to render them of the size of an oval pea; called in Cornwall ‘lambs’ tails.’
