Eggnog Cherry Cream Candies
1 cup eggnog
2 cups sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/2 cup quartered red candied cherries
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
Spray an 8x8-inch baking pan with non-stick vegetable spray. In a 2-1/2
quart saucepan, combine eggnog, sugar, corn syrup, and salt. Cook,
stirring frequently, until mixture forms a soft ball when dropped into
cold water. Cool to lukewarm; add butter and beat until candy begins to
lose its gloss. Stir in cherries and pecans. Quickly spread in prepared
baking pan. Let stand until firm. Cut into squares.
