Nut Cushions
2 c sugar
1/2 c water
1/4 tsp cream of tartar
1/2 c broken nut meats
1 tsp of flavoring of your choice

Cook together the sugar, water, and cream of tartar until a little dropped in cold water is brittle (310 Degrees F) Turn onto a buttered platter, cool slightly, add the flavoring, and when the candy is cool enough to handle, work in the nuts, then pull with the hands until white and creamy, stretch into one long strip and cut into lengths with scissors. Be sure the candies don't touch each other while cooling.
