- 20 ounce crushed pineapple in unsweetened juice
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 cup granulated sugar

- 2 tablespoon butter or margarine

Instructions
Yield: 1 - 1 1/4 pounds. Drain pineapple - reserve juice for other use. Put pineapple in 2-quart sauce pan with sugars, salt & cream. Mix well, then bring to a boil, stirring. Using a candy thermometer, cook, stirring occasionally to keep pineapple from sticking to bottom of pan, until temperature reaches 236 F. or the soft ball stage. Remove from heat. Add butter, ginger, vanilla and nuts WITHOUT stirring. Let stand until lukewarm. Then beat with spoon until candy thickens and loses its gloss. Turn into buttered 8" square pan. Let stand until firm. Then cut in squares. Store airtight in cool place.
