This
is a Christmas specialty.
1 cup
granulated sugar
1 1/2 cups milk
2 cups granulated sugar
Grated rind of two oranges
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup butter
1 cup nuts
Melt
the first cup of sugar in a large vessel over medium heat while
the milk is scalding in another saucepan. When the sugar is melted
(stir continually and watch to keep from scorching), add the hot
milk, all at once, stirring. Add the other two cups of sugar to
this mixture. This will cause a hard ball in the mixture, but keep
stirring until dissolved. Cook until it forms a hard ball in water
or use a candy thermometer. Just before it is done, add grated orange
rind, salt, butter and nuts. Remove from heat and beat until creamy.
Pour into a buttered 9-inch square pan to cool. Cut into squares
when cooled.
