NUT CARAMELS 
1 c. heavy cream mixed with 1/2 c. milk
1/2 c. sugar
1/2 c. brown sugar
3/4 c. light corn syrup
Dash of salt
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/2 c. chopped nuts
2 tbsp. butter

In large saucepan mix 3/4 cup cream mixture, sugars, corn syrup and salt. Bring to boil over medium heat stirring to dissolve sugars. Cook syrup to 234 degrees (soft-ball stage). Stir occasionally. Very slowly stir in remaining 3/4 cup cream mixture so syrup mixture continues to boil. Cook stirring occasionally to 244 degrees (hard ball stage).

Remove from heat, stir in vanilla, nuts and butter. Pour into greased 9 x 5 x 3 inch loaf pan. Cool to room temperature. Turn out of pan and using scissors or knife, cut into pieces and wrap in plastic wrap. Store in cool, dry place.

GREAT CHRISTMAS GIFT!
