3 cups sugar
1 cup sweet milk
2 sticks butter

In an iron fry pan cook 1/4 cup sugar over medium heat until brown. While browning the sugar, bring to a boil the milk and the remaining sugar. Cook until it forms a hard ball. Add butter and the browned sugar. Beat until you are ready to spread on cake. (I usually beat until it is creamy.) After frosting cake, you can add drained, crushed pineapple to the top. Then dribble a small amount of caramel over the pineapple.
