Old-Fashioned Loaf Candy is an moderately easy dinner. Made with 6 c. white sugar, 1 pt. white corn syrup, 1 pt. cream or half and half, 1 lb. unsalted butter and 1 lb. chopped nuts, this recipe delivers authentic, satisfying flavors. A comforting dish that warms the soul.
π Recipe adapted from RecipeNLG-Full
Mix all ingredients in a large heavy pan.
Place over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, stirring constantly.
Cook to a medium firm soft-ball stage.
This will take 40 minutes to 1 hour.
You must constantly stir or candy will burn.
(I try about 1 teaspoon in a cup of cold water.
When it can be picked up with no effort, then candy is cooked.)
Remove from heat.
Continue to stir and beat. When candy begins to stiffen, add the nuts and continue to stir. Candy will get very stiff and hard to stir.
When it will hold its shape, mold into loaf.
Wrap and chill.
Can be frozen.
