How to Make White Fudge

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups granulated sugar, 1/2 cup sour cream, 1/2 cup light corn syrup, 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  2. Bring the mixture to a slow boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  3. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low and continue boiling, without stirring, until the mixture reaches the soft-ball stage (236°F on a candy thermometer). This should take approximately 10-15 minutes.
  4. Carefully remove the saucepan from the heat.
  5. Let the mixture stand undisturbed for at least 15 minutes, or until slightly cooled.
  6. Stir in 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract.
  7. Continue stirring until the mixture begins to lose its glossy sheen and becomes slightly thicker.
  8. Gently fold in 1/2 cup chopped cherries and 1/2 cup chopped nuts (walnuts, pecans, or your favorite).
  9. Pour the fudge into a buttered 8x8 inch baking dish.
  10. Allow the fudge to cool completely at room temperature. This may take several hours.
  11. Once completely cool and set, cut into squares and enjoy!
