Ingredients
- 1 c Sugar; carmelized
- 1/4 c Boiling water
- 2 c Sugar
- 1 c Heavy cream
- 1/8 ts Salt
- 1 tb Orange rind
- 1 c Walnuts; chopped
Directions
Keep shaking the pan to prevent burning. Add the boiling water to carmelize sugar and boil until dissolved.
Add remaining 2 cups sugar, salt and cream.
Boil to the soft ball stage. Just before the candy's done add orange rind.
Remove from fire and cool by beating. Add the nuts. Drop by the teaspoonful onto waxed paper.
After the candy has completely set wrap in small individual pieces of aluminum foil.
This keeps it fresh indefinitely.
