Grandma's Canadian Cashew Caramels image

My Canadian grandma makes these every year for Christmas. She lives in the States now and has to have the Roger's syrup shipped to her, but plain white granulated sugar can be used instead.

A wonderful memory from my childhood. My Grandma would only make these caramels at Christmas time and would send each of her kids a pan full. Needless to say, they never lasted long. I hope you try them sometime. Enjoy!

GREAT-GRANDMA CATHY'S DATE LOAF CANDY



Great-Grandma Cathy's Date Loaf Candy image

Handed down from my great-grandmother, and one of my father's all-time favorite holiday treats. Store in the refrigerator (rolled in the cloth), and it will keep for weeks. Otherwise, it becomes hard and sugary.
