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 |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |

2. Combine first 4 ingredients ina 4-quart heavy saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture comes to a boil. Wash down crystals 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 from heat and cool, undisturbed, until temperature drops to 190° (15 to 18 minutes).
