1 1/2 cups sugar
1/2 cup regular milk
1 cup well chopped pecans
1 cup chopped dates
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 clean lint-less dish cloth

Note! Important that it's the lint-less unbleached white cotton kind that's never been used and freshly laundered.

Boil sugar/milk until soft ball stage. Add dates and vanilla; blend. Then add nuts and stir until thick. Knead it with your hands and roll in damp lint-less dish cloth to form a roll. Refrigerate until hard.

When hard, cut into slices and enjoy!

Thank you mom.
