2 cups white sugar 1-3/4 cups white corn syrup
2 cups heavy cream 1/2 pound butter
Pinch of salt 1 tbsp. vanilla extract
METHOD: Put sugar, white corn syrup, salt and butter in heavy large pan; add cream and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Put lid on and bring to a rolling boil. Remove lid and lower heat. This boils over easily. Continue cooking without stirring, to a firm soft ball stage (about 35 minutes). Add vanilla extract. Remove from heat. Add one or more cups chopped walnuts or almonds. Pour into well-buttered pan 8x8" and cool. When cool to touch and almost hard, turn the pan upside down on a slab to remove the caramel. Then cut candy into desired squares. Dip or wrap in wax paper.
