INSTRUCTIONS
Boil a syrup of the sugar, water and Karo; stop as or before it reaches the
soft ball stage. Let cool. Beat in the dates until they "disintegrate,"
then the nuts.
Wet a dish towel in cold water. Spoon the candy along the middle of the
towel in piles. Fold towel over; roll it, pressing firmly constantly.
Leave to cool and harden. Slice approximately 1/4-inch pieces. Might want
to roll slices in coconut, chopped nuts, etc. (Mom never did, tho'.)
