    COUNTRY FAIR CREAM CANDY


    Source of Recipe


    rgm

    List of Ingredients




    2 cups granulated sugar
    3/4 cup sour cream
    1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1/4 teaspoon almond extract (or both)
    1/2 cup broken nut meats
    10 candied cherries, sliced

    Recipe



    In a 2-quart saucepan combine sugar and cream, stirring well. Place on heat, then continue stirring to dissolve sugar. Cover pan; bring mixture to a boil; cook 1 minute or until steam inside pan has melted all sugar crystals down from the sides.

    Remove cover; continue cooking without stirring over gentle heat to a soft-ball stage (235 degrees F), about 12 minutes. Let cool without stirring or moving until lukewarm (110 degrees F).

    Add flavoring, nutmeats and cherries. Stir-beat with heavy spoon until candy becomes creamy and loses its gloss, about 8 minutes. Pour into a lightly greased, 8-inch square pan. Cut while still warm.

    Makes about 1 pound.
