context_page_description: Gibraltar rock, Gibraltars, or Salem Gibralter are an old-fashioned candy associated with Salem, Massachusetts in the United States.
  The Gibraltar was the first candy commercially sold in the United States. It is still being sold.
context_section_description: Ye Olde Pepper Companie continues to sell the candies, apparently using the original recipe as "Gibralters"[sic] and lists sugar, water, cream of tartar, cornstarch, and oil of lemon as ingredients. They are cut into the shape of a rhombus about 1½ inches on a side.
  A 1947 cookbook gives a recipe using sugar, water, vinegar, and either vanilla, peppermint or cloves for flavoring; it is boiled until hard then pulled like taffy, and becomes "soft and creamy" in several days.
