Pennsylvania Dutch Opera Fudge - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 c. sugar
3 Tbsp. light corn syrup
1/2 c. heavy cream
1 1/2 c. milk
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla extract

Preparation

Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking pan.
In a heavy saucepan, over very low heat, combine sugar, corn syrup, cream, milk and salt.
Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches 238\u00b0 on a candy thermometer, or the soft ball stage.
Use very low heat so some of the sugar will caramelize, tinting the mixture with a rich creamy color.
