2 lbs. light (golden brown) sugar
1/2 stick butter
1/4 tsp. salt
2/3 c. Carnation evaporated milk
1 tbsp. vanilla or 1 tsp. maple flavoring
8 or 12 oz. chopped walnuts

In 2 quart saucepan (preferred nonstick) spread - smear etc., butter in pan. Then add sugar, salt and milk. Mix and heat on medium heat until it starts boiling - turn heat down lower - stir occasionally to be sure it doesn't catch on bottom.

When a drop from a spoon into a cup of cold water holds its shape fairly well - then add flavoring and chopped nuts. Continue to heat until it starts to bubble again.

Remove from heat - allow to cool - keep stirring until it starts to thicken. Pour into a buttered pan (lined with aluminum paper - buttered). When set - cut into desired size pieces. Enjoy!
