2. After acquiring all the ingredients we skinned the nuts. Skinning nuts was fun…..but began to hurt the fingers after a while. We also roasted the nuts to make them more edible and to make them easier to skin.
3. We buttered a large baking tray; and set it aside. We then smoothed the surface of the tray and laid the nuts on another baking tray.
4. In a large heavy bottomed saucepan we combine the sugar, syrup, water, and butter.
