Mother’s Brown Sugar Candy

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups white sugar
• 1/2 cup light brown sugar
• 1 tablespoon white syrup (added later in green ink)
• 1 cup cream
• 1 tablespoon butter
• English walnut halves

Steps

1. Cook sugars, cream and butter to soft ball stage, stirring with a wooden spoon.
2. Cool, then beat; work with buttered hands until very smooth.
3. Make into 2 separate rolls 1 inch across, flattened.
4. Put an English walnut half on each piece.

Notes

1 batch makes 30 pieces (30 later corrected in pencil to 25).

2 pints of cream will make 3 to 4 batches; on the 4th batch you have to add Milnot to make the cup — there’s not 2 cups in a carton.
