Here is another one of my favorite holiday candy recipes. It is very different and comes from the Diamond Walnut Recipes. I'm sure you will like this one, too. Cheryl

2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 cup dairy sour cream
1/3 cup white corn syrup
2 Tbs. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla, rum or brandy flavoring
1/4 cup quartered candied cherries
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts

Combine first 5 ingredients in saucepan; bring to a boil slowly, stirring until sugar dissolves. Boil, without stirring, over medium heat to 236 degrees (soft-ball stage).

Remove from heat, and let stand 15 minutes; do not stir. Add flavoring, beat until mixture starts to lose its gloss (about 8 minutes). Stir in cherries and walnuts, and quickly pour into a greased shallow pan. Cool and cut into squares. Makes about 1 1/2 pounds.
