Old-Fashion "Pull" Candy(Old Family Recipe) - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 qt. sugar-cane syrup or sorghum molasses
2 c. chopped parched peanuts
1 oz. butter or margarine

Preparation

Cook syrup in heavy skillet.
(If using a candy thermometer, boil at 260\u00b0 for about 20 to 25 minutes).
Test by dropping some from a spoon in cool water.
It will string and bead on bottom like sticks.
If a string of the syrup tinkles or clicks on glass, it is ready.
Pour syrup on buttered surface.
Turn outer edges in until cool enough to handle.
Grease your hands well with butter and pull until it turns almost white.
Make it into rope-like sections and roll them in the chopped peanuts.
Let cool.
Cut into 2 to 3-inch pieces.
