 Butter a 9-inch square baking dish. Butter the sides of a heavy 2-quart


 sauce-pan.


 


 Combine sugars, cream, milk and butter in saucepan. Cook over medium heat,


 stirring constantly, until sugars dissolve and mixture comes to a boil.


 Cook to soft ball stage (238 degrees on candy thermometer), stirring only


 if necessary. Immediately remove from heat and cool to lukewarm (110


 degrees). DO NOT STIR.


 


 Add vanilla and beat vigorously until very thick and mixture starts to lose


 its gloss. Quickly stir in nuts and spread into prepared baking dish. Score


 while warm, and cut when firm.


 


 Michael's notes: This recipe contains directions (about not over-stirring)


 that are applicable to most fudge recipes. The buttering the sides of the


 saucepan is also a life saver in other fudge recipes.
