Brown Betties
Two cupfuls of brown sugar, half a cupful of milk, boil about four minutes, stirring constantly; when almost done stir in three quarters of a cupful of chopped walnuts or chopped blanched almonds; remove from the fire and stir till it grains, and looks sugary, then pour into a well oiled tin to the depth of half an inch; when it cools mark off in squares with a knife.
