Making Candy, YUM YUM!!

Candy making is a rich tradition associated with the holiday season. Unfortunately, with our busy schedules in this day and age and the ease of store bought goodies we have all but lost this wonderful art. YVC in Washington County teamed up with the 4-H club in St. George to revive homemade candy making and serve our community.

Each year the Jubilee of Trees fundraiser is held to benefit the Dixie Regional Medical Center. On November 13th we got together to learn to make treats such as taffy, cookies, and toffee so we could make them and turn them in to the Jubilee of Trees. The Jubilee will sell them in their Sweet Shop. We got a work out pulling the taffy and had a bit of a sugar rush tasting our contributions. It was a fantastic afternoon!
