Author's Notes:
This comes from a page in an obscure magazine called something like
Canadian Homemaker, by way of a Canadian friend, Steve Deering. This is a
traditional Canadian sweet, much loved and admired. The origin of the
recipe seems to be lost in the mists of time, though everyone seems to
agree that it comes from the town of Nanaimo, in British Columbia.
Difficulty : easy.
Precision : measure the ingredients.
