Ingredients/Components

vanilla - 1 tsp
milk - 3/4 c
salt - 1/4 tsp
butter - 1 Tbsp
light corn syrup - 1 Tbsp
firmly packed light brown sugar - 3 c
coarsely chopped walnuts or pecans - 1 c

How to make penuche:

In heavy medium saucepan over low heat, stir together the sugar, milk, butter, corn syrup and salt until sugar dissolves. Over medium heat, bring to a boil; continue boiling, stirring occasionally, until mixture reaches 238° on a candy thermometer or a little dropped in very cold water forms a soft ball that flattens on removal from water. Remove from heat; cool to lukewarm (110°). Add vanilla. Beat until mixture holds its shape when dropped from a spoon and loses its gloss. This takes considerable beating. Quickly stir in nuts. Pour at once into a buttered 8 x 8 x 2-inch pan. Cut when cold.
