Rich Walnut Caramels
| Sugar (granulated), | 2 cups |
| Corn syrup, | 1¾ cups |
| Cream, | 2 cups |
| Butter, | 1 cup |
| Flavoring (vanilla), | 1 teaspoon |
| Walnut meats cut in pieces, | 1 cup |
When the sugar, syrup, one cup of cream and butter reached the boiling point Betsey added the other cup of cream a little at a time so that the candy did not once stop boiling.
After trying it in cold water, and it formed a firm ball between her thumb and finger, she added the vanilla and nuts, turned it into a buttered pan, marked into squares when cool, cut with a sharp knife when cold and wrapped in waxed paper.
Betsey found that these took a long, long while to make, nearly an hour, but my! weren't they worth it when she popped one into her mouth!
