This is a Christmas specialty.
1 C. sugar
1 1/2 C. milk
2 C. sugar
Grated rind of two oranges
Pinch of salt
1/2 C. butter
1 C. 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.
