Mexican Orange Candy
This candy is a
holiday tradition in my family and my favorite aunt always makes it. Just
seeing the recipe makes me smile, because I really love my aunt but I really
don't like this candy. However, lots of other people in the family, including
my husband like it, so here it is. You be the judge!
Mexican Orange Candy Recipe
3 cups
granulated sugar
1 1/2 c
milk, scalded
1 c walnuts
or pecans
Grated
rind of
2 oranges
1/2 c butter
Melt 1 cup
of sugar in a large pan over medium heat while the milk is scalding in another
saucepan. When the sugar is melted and a golden brown color (stir continually
and watch to keep from scorching), add the hot milk, all at once, stirring.
Add the
other two cups of sugar to this mixture. This will cause a hard ball in the
mixture, but keep stirring until dissolved. Cook until it forms a hard ball in
water or use a candy thermometer.
Just before
it is done, add grated orange rind, butter and nuts. Remove from heat and beat
until creamy. Pour into a buttered 9-inch square pan to cool. Cut into squares
when cooled.
