Ingredients

6 c. sugar
2 1/2 c. evaporated milk

Combine sugar, milk, syrup and butter in saucepan.

This scorches easily so watch carefully.
Remove from heat; beat with electric mixer until creamy, about 10 minutes.
Stir in walnuts.
Pour into a buttered 10 x 15-inch pan.
Let stand until set.
Cut into pieces; store in refrigerator.
