I use the soft wax method and a slightly different recipe, but otherwise all of her comments and directions are exactly what I would say :)
My recipe is 2 cups of sugar, 3tbsp of water and 3 tbsp of lemon juice boiled on the stove just until the bubbles turn off white. I'll take it off and on the stove and let the bubbles die down so I can see the color, and it's done when it just turns a soft champagne, buttery yellow. Use stainless steel not non stick so you can see better, it's easy to wash because it just dissolves. Let it sit off heat for maybe two minutes to thicken and carry over cook a bit, then pour it into an >8 oz jar (glass is great because you can microwave it). Once in the jar it should be a warm golden honey color. I've found that that recipe results in a nice soft wax that just has to be somewhat warm to work. Her recipe might be fine too but I've had some issues with the higher liquid content ones not setting up right.
If you have any questions let me know!
