Honey candy!

My grandma Helquist had a sweet tooth. And it was passed on to most of us. She was known for making and eating candy, particularly honey candy. I think as the mother of 10 with a very limited income she had to be very frugal and creative to make life good for her family. 

Of her 8 living children only 2 (that I know of) continue to make honey candy and I'm afraid that it's possible that the recipe and skill of pulling it may be lost. I'm sort of determined that we will continue it, however, I am not good at pulling it, so Curtis has taken on that job! 

This was on Christmas Eve and was the piece de' resistance of the evening!!

Good things:

Family traditions

Calloused hands that are strong

Sweet honey!
