  4. A great big bonfire with friends and  s’mores.  Jessie isn’t allowed the chocolate but she likes the gram crackers and marshmallows.
  5.  Listening to Santa reading a story about the stars by the bonfire.  Jessie likes to watch the elf children sleepily trying to keep their eyes open.
  6. Hot dogs and hamburgers at the community barbecue.
  7. Presents from Santa and Molly.  Jessie gets a new bed, a chew toy and some clothing from Molly.

Jessie and Molly Make Candy

Leave a comment

When Jessie, Molly and Santa go to visit relatives down south they like to go to the spring farmer’s markets.  They explore the carts filled with the early crops of the season. 

This year Molly found a stall that sold honey.  Honey is one of her favourite sweet treats  and she purchased several jars to take home.

Once she got home she mixed a recipe from her grandmother for Honey Candy, 

Jessie, always helpful, rolled the jar of honey across the table to Molly and sat close to the stove so she could be the official taste tester once Molly was finished cooking.

Here is Molly’s recipe to share with your family.  Make sure mom and dad help you with this recipe.  Honey when heated  can burn really easily.

INGREDIENTSJessie and Molly Make Candy

1/4 cup honey

​1/4 cup butter

​1/2 tsp vanilla

​nuts

​food colouring (red or green)

DIRECTIONS

Melt butter in a large pot.  ​Add nuts and honey.

​Fold in  vanilla, food colouring and nuts.

​Cool .  Do not burn yourself.  The mixture is very hot when it comes off the stove.

​Turn mixture onto a silicone mat and shape into a log or pieces.

Chill until firm.  Cut into pieces and serve cold
