2 1/4 c. sugar
1/4 c. low fat milk
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. quartered candied cherries (red & green)
1/2 c. non fat sour cream
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. light corn syrup
1 c. coarsely chopped walnuts

Combine sugar, sour cream, milk, butter, corn syrup and salt in heavy 2 quart saucepan. Stir over moderate heat until sugar is dissolved and mixture reaches a boil. Boil over moderate heat 9 to 10 minutes to 238 degrees (soft ball stage). Remove from heat and allow to stand until lukewarm, about 1 hour. Add vanilla and beat until mixture just begins to lose its gloss and hold its shape (requires very little beating). Quickly stir in walnuts and cherries and turn into an oiled pan. Let stand until firm before cutting.
