2 c. firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 c. milk
1/8 tsp. salt
2 1/2 tbsp. butter
3/4 c. chopped nut meats
1 tsp. vanilla

In 3 quart heavy saucepan, combine sugar, milk, and salt; stir well. Over medium heat, bring to boil; cover and boil 2-3 minutes. Uncover and continue to boil until mixture reaches 244 degrees (firm ball stage), stirring frequently.

Remove from heat and place pan immediately into sink with cold water in bottom, just enough for pan to sit in 2-3 inches.

Without stirring, add butter and vanilla. When you can comfortably put finger into mixture, stir mixture until it starts to thicken and add nut meats. Spread in 8 inch buttered pan and let set until firm. ENJOY! Makes 1 1/2 pounds. Well worth the effort.
