2 c. granulated sugar
1/2 c. vinegar
1/2 c. water
Butter, size of a walnut

Place ingredients in iron skillet; bring to a slow boil, stirring until thoroughly mixed. Boil until brittle when dropped by spoonful in cold water. Stir occasionally while cooking. This brittle has to be watched very carefully and when it is brittle it will be transparent.

Arrange peanuts, black walnuts, or other type nuts, figs, dates or coconut on a buttered platter; pour the brittle over the nuts. It will cool quickly. When cool, break into pieces.
