2 c Sugar
2/3 c Milk
1/4 ts Salt
2 tb Light corn syrup
2 tb Margarine or butter
1/2 ts Ground cardamom
1/4 c Chopped walnuts
1/4 c Chopped pistachios
Cook sugar, milk, salt and corn syrup in 2-quart
saucepan over medium heat, stirring constantly, until
sugar is dissolved. Cook, stirring occasionally, to
240F on candy thermometer or until small amount of
mixture dropped into very cold water forms soft ball
that flattens when removed from water. Remove from
heat. Add margarine. Cool mixture to 120F without
stirring. (Bottom of pan will be lukewarm.) Add
cardamom. Beat vigorously and continuously until candy
is thick and no longer glossy, 5 to 10 minutes.
(Mixture will hold its shape when dropped from spoon.)
Quickly stir in nuts. Spread mixture in buttered
9x5x3-inch loaf pan. Let stand until firm. Cut into
1-inch squares.
