Pat and I were married October 19, 1974 in Elmdale Baptist Church. Pat is from Trent originally and his family had a little piece of land in Trent and that's where Pat and I lived for the first 4 years of our marriage. It was a very small house, but I remember the very first Christmas - I had candy and goodies all over the place!!! This recipe is one of the very first things that I made. I got the recipe from my mom, Louise Lambert - she used to make these for us and they were so good!!! I hope you enjoy these as much as we always have.
Soft Peanut Patties
from the files of Louise Lambert, Tuscola, Texas
2 cups raw peanuts
3 cups sugar
2/3 cup White Karo
1 cup canned milk
1 tsp. vanilla
2 T Butter
Mix all together, cook until soft ball forms in cold water. Add red food coloring, enough to make it pink (Probably 3 or 4 drops). Beat until thick. You will have to spoon these up quick once they turn dull and get thick. Drop desired size on wax paper.
