Mom's Nut And Date Candy Recipe

1 c Nuts, finely chopped

-(walnuts, pecans, etc.) 1 c Dates, finely chopped

2 c Sugar, granulated

1/2 c Water (up to 3/4 cup)

1 T Karo

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'.)
