Penuche Candy

Ingredients:
1 lb. Brown Sugar
1/4 Tsp. Cream of Tartar
3/4 Cup Milk
1/2 Cup chopped Nutmeats
1 Cup Granulated Sugar
1/4 Tsp. Salt
1/2 Cup Light Cream

Directions:
Blend sugars, cream of tartar and salt in large saucepan. Add
milk and cream, stir until sugar is almost dissolved. Cook over low
heat, stirring constantly until sugar is completely dissolved before
boiling point is reached. Boil, stirring occasionally, until soft ball
forms in cold water, or candy thermometer registers 234° to 236°.
Remove from heat, cool without stirring to 149° or until bottom of
pan feels warm, but not hot. Beat until candy loses its shiny
appearance and becomes creamy. Beat in nuts. At first sign of
stiffening, pour into buttered pan. When cool, cut into squares.
Makes 1-3/4 pounds.
For Variation: Instead of nuts, you may add 3/4 cup peanut butter
when you remove it from the heat.
