Title: Patience Candy
Categories: Five, Candy, Snacks, Nuts
Yield: 18 Servings
4 c Granulated sugar
1 c Milk
2 c Chopped nuts; any kind
2 tb Butter
1 ts Salt
Patience is a virtue, and you'll need it while you're stirring this
candy. But if you fix in your mind the end result - a caramelized
confection strewn with nuts - we think you'll agree that it's worth
it. (This is a great family activity; everyone gets a turn
stirring!)
In a heavy saucepan or skillet, heat about one fourth of the sugar
until melted and light brown (carmelized).
In another saucepan, combine remaining sugar and milk; cook over
medium-low heat, stirring until dissolved. Slowly add caramelized
sugar, stirring constantly. Continue cooking until mixture reaches
the soft ball stage; it will form a ball when dropped in cold water
(234°F to 236°F). Remove from heat; add nuts, butter and salt; beat
until creamy.
Pour into well-greased 9x9x2" pan; cool before cutting into
squares.
