Steps:
- Prepare your candy growing area by thoroughly cleaning and drying a 2 quart jar. You will need a place for it to rest undisturbed for about 2 weeks.
- In a large bowl, place the water. Dissolve sugar in water, a little at a time, stirring each time until sugar is completely dissolved, until no more sugar can be incorporated. Pour sugar water into clean jar and place a bamboo skewer in the jar, being sure the top sticks out over the surface of the water. Cover with a cloth, to keep out dust, and let rest until all water is evaporated and crystals have formed on the skewer, several days.
- NOTE: For larger crystals, try "seeding" them, by wetting your skewer and rolling it in sugar before placing it in the sugar water. Be sure not to disturb the crystals as they are growing.

MINER'S CANDY
We used to get this as a treat whenever someone would come visit from Galena Kansas. There used to be a candy store there that made this in the fall and winter. Galena is an old mining town, thus the name of the candy. It takes very little work to make (but you have to work fast at the end) and is a big hit around Thanksgiving and Christmas.

Steps:
- Heavily butter a 9" x 13" pan.
- In a large, heavy kettle, add the sugar, dark corn syrup and vinegar.
- Stir just to mix ingredients.
- Place kettle over medium heat.
- DO NOT STIR!
- Boil mixture until it reaches 300 degrees on a candy thermometer.
- Remove from heat.
- Stir in the baking soda. Mixture will fizz!
- Mix baking soda in well and pour into the prepared pan.
- DO NOT TRY TO SPREAD MIXTURE.
- Trying to spread it will break the foam, just plop it in the pan.
- Cool and break into pieces.
- Melt chocolate chips in top of double boiler (a bowl placed in a pan of simmering water works fine as does the microwave).
- Dip candy in chocolate sit on wire rack (or if like me, you don't have one, set it on waxed paper).
