When the 240F syrup cools a little (110F or so) I start working it with that big hard plastic scraper until I work it into a white stiff mass that can't be worked anymore!! Thin syrups cooked to lower than 240F take a LOT more working!!!

4 cups cane sugar
1/8 tsp cream of tartar
1.3 cups hot water

Boil and cook to 240F. Pour out on mareble slab then work into white stiff mass. Wrap white sugar lump in plastic wrap and let it sit someplace cool for 3 or 4 days!

Majic happens!!
