Thanks, Carol In WI It's supposed to be all one hard crystalized lump... How are you making your sugar solution? The biggest problem that I have had in the past was crystalization on the surface of the syrup if I did not get a good seal on the jar! :-) If you dunk the string then take it out and dry it first to get an initial "seed", then put it back into the jar as soon as it's dried, it seems to give a better crystalization. You can use a toothpick too, or a bamboo skewer. -- K. Sprout the Mung Bean to reply... ,,Cat's Haven Hobby Farm,,Katraatcenturyteldotnet,, http://cgi6.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...user id=katra
