White Fudge With Walnuts

2 cups sugar
1/2 cup sour cream
1/3 cup light corn syrup
2 tbsp. butter
1/4 tsp. salt
2 tsp. vanilla extract
1 and 1/4 cups coarsely chopped walnuts

Combine first five ingredients in heavy 2 quart saucepan. Bring to boil over low heat, stirring until sugar dissolves.

Boil (without stirring) over medium heat until the candy thermometer reaches 236° (or until you've reached the "soft-ball" stage).

Remove from heat. Allow to stand for 15 minutes. (Do not stir!)

Add vanilla. Beat for 10 minutes - or until mixture begins to lose its "gloss". Stir in walnuts.

Pour into greased 8" square pan immediately. Cool. Cut into squares.
