2 c. sugar
3/4 c. light corn syrup
1/4 c. butter
1 3/4 c. whipping cream (divided)
Pinch of salt
1 tsp. vanilla
1 c. chopped nuts

In a 3 quart casserole combine sugar, syrup, butter, 1 cup cream and salt. Stir good then microwave at high 10 minutes stirring often. Gradually stir in 3/4 cup cream. Microwave 15-19 minutes or until hard ball forms (250 degrees). Stir every 3-4 minutes the first 15 minutes then every 1-2 minutes. (When cooled mixture will be caramel color.)

Stir in vanilla and nuts. Pour into buttered foil lined 8x8 pan. Let stand until firm, remove from pan. Cut into 1 inch squares. Wrap in plastic wrap.

Note: If mixture separates while cooking beat until smooth with wire whisk. Makes 2 pounds.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
