Butter a 9 x 13-inch baking pan; set aside. In a heavy
4-quart saucepan, combine cream, corn syrup, butter
and sugar. Place over medium heat and stir
occasionally with a wooden spoon until mixture comes
to a boil. If sugar crystals are present, wash down
sides of the pan with a wet pastry brush. Clip on
candy thermometer. Cook to 238 F (115 C) or soft- ball
stage. Remove from heat and let stand undisturbed
until the thermometer reads 200 F (95 C). Remove

it thickens and lightens in color. Stir in vanilla,
nuts and fruits and mix well. Turn into prepared pan,
pressing mixture into corners. Refrigerate 24 hours.
Cut into 1-inch squares and serve or dip into tempered
chocolate if desired. Shared by ELLIE COLLIN (CMKD93F).
