TURTLES"
MRS. r. ". Alerondrid)
In answer to Mrs. N. N. M.
of Washington, who requested
a recipe for the candy "tur-
Ties" may I submit the follow
ing: Two cups sugar. / cup
light corn sirup, "a cup butter
in small pieces, 2 cups heavy
cream, warmed; " teaspoon
salt, 2 teaspoons vanilla.
Measure the sugar and corn
sirup into 4-quart saucepan.
Blend and place over a low
heat, stirring continuously un-
til boiling; then put in candy
thermometer. Boil without
stirring over a high flame un-
til the thermometer registers
305 degrees. Remove candy
from the stove for only a mo-
ment. put in a bit of butter,
return to stove and continue
cooking, stirring and adding
butter. one piece at a time.
The mixture will bubble up
and steam. Add the cream
slowly and continue to stir
vigorously. cooking until ther-
mometer registers 246 degrees.
This whole process should not
take more than 80 minutes.
Remove pan from stove i'm
mediately. Let stand min
utes and add salt and vanilla.
Stir only enough to blend.
When caramel has cooled for
10 minutes, drop by Spoonfuls
on pecans which have been
spread out on well-buttered
cookie sheet or platter. Put
in refrigerator to cool for Is
minutes.
Melt ! pound of sweet choc-
olate over boiling water, STIR
ring and beating while melting
it. Remove before completely
melted and beat until cool.
Then pour chocolate over car
amels to coat.
The recipe makes anywhere
from 5000 turtles. 1t just
depends on how generous you
are with the caramel. I made
II and had some caramel to
eat plain. I used 12-ounce
chocolate bar. I didn't have
a pouring consistency so I
just spooned the chocolate
over the caramelS. Let me
advise you to buy the pecans
already shelled. 1t is more
expensive, but it's some job to
crack the nuts so that you
have perfect halves. ! did
my own nuts and am using
the broken pieces in fudge and
cookies.
: I grant that you will have
to keep these under lock and
key. The first I made were
last night and they are just
like those I paid $1.25 a pound
for in Cincinnati four years
ago. This recipe came from a
lady in Alliance, Ohio.
JALOUSIE WINDOWS.
MRS. P. d., Falls Church,
was interested in the query
regarding the jalousie type
windows because we have just
recently installed them to
make an all-purpose room. as
Mrs. S. S. D. of Falls Church
mentioned that they were
thinking of doing. We think
they are the most wonderful
investment we've ever made.
and would be glad to show our
room to her If she would care
to get in touch with me
through the RICH. That way
we could answer each and
every one of her questions. We
really think they are a Won
derful invention.
