Ingredients:





     4 c  Sugar


     1 cn (small) evaporated milk


     1    Stick butter


   1/2 c  Sugar (to brown)


 1 1/2 tb Vanilla






 Mix 4 cups sugar, evaporated milk & butter in a heavy pan. Begin cooking on


 medium heat. In another heavy pan, brown 1/2 cup sugar over medium heat.


 Let both come to a boil. (They must be boiling to mix.) Pour browned sugar


 slowly into boiling sugar mixture. Boil slowly to soft ball stage (232


 degrees). When this mixture reaches soft ball stage, remove from heat &


 cool. (This can be achieved quickly by placing pan in small amount of cool


 water.) Add vanilla. Beat continually until smooth & will spread easily.


 (If icing gets too hard, add a few drops milk & continue to beat until


 right consistency is reached.)
