Original recipe card for Nut Caramels

Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb. Pitted Prunes
  • 1/2 lb. Seedless Raisins
  • 1/2 lb. Stoned Dates
  • 1/2 lb. Figs
  • 1 1/2 lbs. Shelled nuts (several kinds)

Instructions

  1. Put all through a meat grinder, first nuts and then fruit.
  2. Add the juice of two or three oranges or just enough to moisten it so that it will stick together.
  3. Spread it on a flat surface as thick as desired and keep for several hours in a cold place.
  4. Then cut and wrap as caramels.
  5. I have added just a little salt and think it an improvement.
