Directions: |
Directions:Put 2 c. sugar into heavy iron skillet; place over low heat and stir with wooden spoon until sugar is entirely melted and light brown in color (about 1/2 hour). Put the rest of the sugar and the cream in a deep kettle over low heat and cook slowly while sugar in skillet is melting. When sugar is melted, pour in a thin stream into the cream and sugar mixture while stirring. Cook slowly to firm ball stage, (full boil or 234º) stirring constantly. Set candy off heat and add soda immediately; stir until mixture foams. Add butter and vanilla; stir until butter is melted. Let rest 10 minutes. Beat with wooden spoon until mixture has lost its glossy sheen. Add nuts; mix and pour into buttered (9 X 13-inch) pan. Cool: cut into squares. Store in airtight container. Note: make on a clear day and with a kitchen helper. (Granddaughter's Inglenook Cookbook) |

Notes: Oklahoma Brown Candy or "Aunt Bill's" is part of the Schnaithman family holiday tradition. Mom would store this candy in decorative tins on the back porch---very convenient to help one's self whenever you wanted a piece of candy.
