Categories: Desserts, Candies
Yield: 7 servings

2 c Sugar
1 c Heavy cream
1 c Milk
1 c Chopped nuts
1 ts Vanilla

Cook sugar, cream, and milk to 230 degrees F.. Slowly
add chopped dates so boiling does not stop.
Occasionally, stir mixture so the dates do not settle
to the bottom of the pan and scorch. Cook to 238
degrees F.. Cool in the pan or pour out on a marble
slab. When a little warmer than lukewarm, around 150
degrees, stir and work with your hands or a spatula
until creamy. Work nuts and vanilla into the candy.
Form into rolls, wrap tightly in waxed paper or
plastic wrap until firm. Store in a tightly covered
container. Makes about 30 pieces.
