I don't have a photo because they went to sugar and I didn't even try to beat them. I called Jennifer to ask about the sugar not dissolving before it started to boil and she thought is the recipe has a misprint. So, I am guessing it should be 2 C of sugar not 4 C of sugar. I also thought it strange to add salt to the candy after it had been cooked. That said, the flavor wasn't amazing either. I don't know if I will try them again with 2 C of sugar. Another thought is the sugar just didn't dissolve well. Who knows? Mom was going to check her original book for a misprint. I have to admit I was really dissappointed. I was really excited to try these.
Because of all that I am giving it a 1.
Opera Creams
4 C sugar
1 C cream
4 T corn syrup
1 t vanilla
1 C chopped walnuts
dash of salt
Combine sugar, syrup, cream until dissolved, then without stirring, cook to 238-degrees. Remove from heat and add vanilla, salt, and nuts. Beat vigorously until creamy and heavy. Pour on a buttered sheet to cool. Mark in 1" squares.
