[ a teaspoon of syrup will form a soft ball when dropped in very cold water] Remove from heat at once.[ add vanilla, BUT DO NOT STIR IT IN.]

3. cool mixture in pan to 110' or until lukewarm;[ this can be hastened along by sitting it in a sink of ice water! ] beat with wooden spoon until mixture thickens and begins to lose its gloss[ 15 minutes].

4. Spread in buttered 9 by 5 by 3 inch pan. [i would use a little bigger pan as i do not like my candy that thick!! I would also add nuts to half of it] Let stand until cool, cut into squares. Makes 2 lbs.
