Blue Ribbon Creamy Caramels - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    cooking spray (such as Pam(R))
    2 cups white sugar
    1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
    3/4 cup corn syrup
    1/3 cup butter
    1 teaspoon white vinegar
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    1 cup chopped walnuts (optional)
    2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Preparation
    Spray a large loaf pan or 8-inch square baking dish with cooking spray.
    Stir white sugar, 3/4 cup cream, corn syrup, butter, vinegar, and salt together in a heavy pot; bring to a boil. Stir in remaining cream. Cook, stirring constantly, until caramel is 244 degrees F (117 degrees C), or until a small amount of caramel dropped into cold water forms a firm but pliable ball, 10 to 20 minutes. Remove from heat and cool briefly.
    Stir walnuts and vanilla extract into caramel; pour caramel into prepared baking dish. Cool completely, at least 1 hour. Turn baking dish over onto a flat work surface to remove cooled caramel from dish; cut caramel into serving pieces.
