2 1/4 c. white sugar
1/2 c. dairy sour cream
1/4 c. milk
2 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. light corn syrup
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla
1 c. walnuts, coarsely chopped
1/3 c. red or green candied cherries

Combine the first 6 ingredients. Stir over moderate heat until the sugar dissolves and the mixture reaches a boil. Boil over moderate heat to a "soft ball" stage. Let sit until it is lukewarm. Beat until the glossy look leaves. Stir in the cherries and walnuts. Pour into a buttered plate. Let it firm before cutting.
