In a large, heavy saucepan combine the brown sugar and the water and cook over low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until the sugar is dissolved. In another saucepan combine the milk, light cream or evaporated milk, and the baking soda. Stir in mix and bring almost to a bowl over fairly high heat. Pour into the dissolved sugar, stirring to mix thoroughly, and cook, stirring frequently, until the mixture is thick and caramel-colored and the bottom of the pan can be seen when the spoon is drawn across it. Stir in the walnuts, mixing well. It will take about 1 hour. Serve either chilled or at room temperature. |
