Gran'ma Wood's Fondant early recipe

3 cups sugar
1 cup boiling water or milk (for creamy fondant, use milk)
1/3 teaspoon cream of tartar

Cook to soft ball stage (235° or 236°).  Pour out to cool –on marble slab or Formica table top.  When cool to touch, stir and “work” with a wooden spoon and spatula. When it losses its gloss, pile it up on the slab and let it harden.  Let it sit for a few hours.  Then take chunks and knead it until smooth.  Place in a covered bowl in the refrigerator to ripen.
