--------  ------------  --------------------------------
   2       c            Sugar
     1/2   ts           Vanilla extract
     1/2   ts           Lemon extract
   2       c            Parched benne seed (sesame
                        -seeds, I think)

  "Benne seeds cannot be procured in many places, but
  the candy made with it is so delicious and so
  characteristic of Charleston that the recipe is here
  included."
  
  Add the extracts to the sugar.  Melt the sugar in a
  saucepan, stirring constantly, as for peanut brittle.
  When the sugar is melted, add the benne seed, stirring
  it in quickly. Pour at once onto a marble slab to cool
  or pour into lightly buttered pans.  Mark in one-inch
  squares while still warm and break along the lines
  when cold. --Mrs. Rhett
