Caramels

Recipe is from Aunt Annie.

1 quart whipping cream
2 cups white corn syrup
4 cups sugar

Mix sugar, syrup, and 1 1/3 cups of the cream. Stir over medium heat until it boils. Stir occasionally. Cook to soft ball. Add 1 1/3 cups cream and continue to cook. Bring to a soft ball stage again. Add remaining 1 1/3 cups cream. Let cook to a firm to hard ball stage.

Pour into buttered dripper pan and cut into pieces when cool. Wrap in cellophane or waxed paper. (To test for cooking stage, drop a few drops of candy into cool water.)
