Aunt Bill's Brown Candy

Aunt Jean and Uncle Garland's recipe

Ingredients:

6 cups sugar

1/4 teaspoon baking soda

1 pint cream

1 teaspoon vanilla

1/4 pound butter

1 1/2 cups nuts (pecans)

2 cartons whipping cream

Pour two cups sugar in heavy skillet and place over low heat. Begin stirring with wooden spoon and keep sugar moving so that it won't scorch. Takes about a half hour to melt all of the sugar. Do not let it smoke, should be a light brown color. When sugar has started to heat, pour the remaining 4 cups of sugar together with the cream into a deep heavy kettle and put over low heat to cook. Cook slowly while melting the sugar in the skillet. When sugar in skillet is melted, begin pouring into kettle of boiling cream and sugar keeping at low heat and stirring constantly. The secret of mixing the ingredients is to pour a very fine stream no longer than a knitting needle and stir across the bottom of the pan all of the time. Cook to soft ball stage (245 degrees F.) Turn off burner, add soda, stir vigorously as it foams up. Add butter allowing to melt as you stir. Set off stove for 20 minutes. Add vanilla and nuts and beat until it loses its gloss, pour into two 13x9 inch buttered pans.
