2 c. sugar
1/3 tsp. baking soda
2/3 c. milk
pinch of salt
1 c. coconut

Mix sugar, soda and salt in a large skillet. Add milk, stirring well to mix with dry ingredients. Cook approximately 15 minutes over medium-high heat until mixture reaches the soft ball stage (approximately 235°F). Stir constantly and scrape the sides of the skillet as you stir. Once the mixture reaches the soft ball stage, add the coconut and continue to boil 5 minutes. Remove from heat and beat by hand 2 to 3 minutes until it thickens. Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper or buttered surface. Let cool.

Yield: 1 dozen.
