White Fudge (E.B.)

Ingredients

  • 2 C granulated sugar
  • 1/2 C sour cream
  • 1/3 C of white karo syrup
  • 2 T butter
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 2 tsp. vanilla, rum or brandy flavoring
  • 1/4 C finely cut up candied red or green cherries
  • 1 C fairly fine chopped walnuts or pecans

Preparation

Step 1

Combine first 5 ingredients in a saucepan, bring to a boil slowly, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil without stirring over medium heat, to 236° on thermometer or until a small amount dropped in cold water forms a soft ball. Remove from the heat and let stand 15 minutes. Do not stir. Add flavoring, beat until mixture starts to lose its gloss a tiny bit. Add cherries and nuts, stir and quickly pour into a buttered shallow pan.
