From: blkcat!Leti.Labell@uunet.uu.net (Leti Labell) Date: Sun, 12 Dec 1993 11:31:08 -0500 From Family Circle's _Christmas Helps and Holiday Baking. 1993 NOTE: if you only have salted cashews, as I did, rinse them in a colander and dry them with a paper towel. Line baking sheet or shallow baking pan with foil. Butter foil and metal spatula; set aside. Combine nuts, sugar, corn syrup and salt in a 6-cup microwave-safe bowl. Cook, uncovered, 4 minutes on High; stir well and cook 4 minutes longer on High. Mixture will be boiling. Stir in butter and vanilla. Microwave on High 2 minutes. Add baking soda and stir until light and foamy. Quickly pour into prepared pan. Spread to about 1/4 inch thickness with spatula. Let cool, then break into pieces. Store in airtight container. (I wrapped the pieces in plastic wrap.) Makes 1 pound. REC.FOOD.RECIPES ARCHIVES /CANDY From rec.food.cooking archives. Downloaded from Glen's MM Recipe Archive, http://www.erols.com/hosey.
