Candied cherries and toasted nuts flavor this creamy fudge that's made with left-over eggnog. Ingredients:
2 cups sugar |
1 cup refrigerated eggnog |
2 tablespoons butter |
2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
1/4 cup chopped pecans, toasted |
1/4 cup slivered almonds, toasted and chopped |
1/2 cup chopped red candied cherries |
Directions:
1. Line an 8 x4 loaf pan with aluminum foil; butter foil and set aside.
2. Combine first 4 ingredients in a 4-quart heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Wash down crysals from sides of pan using a pastry brush dipped in hot water. Insert a candy thermometer into eggnog mixture. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thermometer registers 238°. Remove pan from heat and cool sugar mixture, undisturbed, until temperature drops to 190° (15 to 18 minutes.)
3. Stir in pecans and remaining 3 ingredients; beat with a wooden spoon until fudge thickens and just begins to lose its gloss (5 to 8 minutes). Pour candy into prepared pan. Cool completely; cut into squares.
