List of Ingredients




3 cups Sugar
1/4 cup Boiling water
1 cup Evaporated milk
2 teaspoons Grated orange peel
1 cup Chopped pecans
Dash of salt


Recipe



Slowly sift one cup of the sugar into a hot, heavy frying pan, stirring constantly to caramelize. Add boiling water. When sugar is melted, add the two cups of remaining sugar, milk and salt, stirring constantly. Cook to 236 degrees or soft ball stage. Remove from heat and add orange rind. Cool until you can put your hand comfortably on the bottom of the pan. Add nuts and beat until candy holds its shape. Drop by spoonfuls onto wax paper. Cool. Makes about three dozen.
