Peanut Brittle (untested)

This recipe appears to be Grammy's handwriting (her handwriting looked different when she wrote in fountain pen). It is undated, but I suspect this recipe pre-dates 1941 (the year she got married).

Ingredients:

• 2 cups sugar
• 1 teaspoon butter [this doesn't seem like enough butter]
• 1 cup chopped peanuts

Instructions:

1. Put sugar into an iron sauce pan and let it melt over a moderately hot fire
2. Add butter and nuts and pour immediately into a well-greased pan
3. Mark into squares when cool enough
