FRUIT CANDY.

One cocoanut, one and one-half pounds granulated sugar (wet with milk of cocoanut). Put in sauce pan, let it heat slowly; then boil rapidly five minutes; add the cocoanut (grated very fine), and boil ten minutes, stirring constantly. Try a little on a cold plate, and if it forms a firm paste when cool, take from the fire. Pour part of it out on to a large tin lined with greased paper; then add to the remaining cream one-quarter pound raisins (stoned), one-half pound blanched almonds, one pint pecans, one-half cup chopped walnuts. Pour over the other cream, and when cool cut in bars and squares.
