- Over medium heat, continue cooking.
- Stir constantly scraping bottom and sides until the mixture reaches softball stage (235 degrees on a candy thermometer or spinning a thread).
- Remove mixture from heat.
- Cool slightly (about 2 minutes). Beat with spoon until thick and creamy.
- Drop from a tablespoon onto sheet of alumium foil or wax paper. Let cool. Store in an airtight container.
